Horse Betting Help Please

[Zenyatta 19-1]

My buddy text me that he had a winner and told me to place 200 on the place and the show. The horse came in 2nd and the odds are 5.00 and 4.20. So what the hell did I win as they are still pending. First horse bet I ever made

[BrickJames]

You won both bets

[BrickJames]

Next time post the horse, race # and track so we can all have a taste

[Zenyatta 19-1]

[BrickJames]

If you put $200 on each bet, yes

[Zenyatta 19-1]

[jameski999]

With a name like Zenyatta and her career record in your screen name I highly doubt it was your first horse racing bet. But nice hit

I am just a fan of great stories and Zenyatta was one of my favorite stories. Can literally say this was my first horse race. Big Brown another fav of mine

[Zenyatta 19-1]

Is everyone sure I won 1000 and 840???? Cause don't you have to put up $2 in horse racing? all so dam n confusing to me

[jameski999]

If you paid $200 W/P you get back $920

$500 for the place and $420 for the show

[Zenyatta 19-1]

I bet $200 on the Show and the Place. So a total of $400. What exactly get paid back to me...the total amount

[Zenyatta 19-1]

does the 920 include the 400 I put up??? or do I get 920 and the 400 back

Includes your $400. So $520 profit

[Boner_18]

$500 for the place and $420 for the show

This. The payouts are on a $2 bet. So 5.00x100 and 4.2x100 = 920 (includes your $400 stake).

[Zenyatta 19-1]

Includes your $400. So $520 profit

dam n that sucks

[Zenyatta 19-1]

I know it's still a winner but I thought I won 1000, and 840 lol

[Boner_18]

Also... How is someone who registered with the name Zenyatta 19-1 in 2010 only placing his first horse racing wager in 2015?

Like I said, I do gambling through casinos and sportsbetting but I never got into Horses. I live in SWFL right by the track too where you can bet horses ( where I play poker) and I have never made a single horse bet simply because it seems like it's too much to take in. I liked Zenyatta's story however so I chose the username

[Zenyatta 19-1]

I wouldn't sit here and make myself look clueless if I already knew or waste my time with the thread

[biggie12]

U signed up with zenyatta 19-1 but never bet a horse race. What's going on in this forum tonight

[biggie12]

Stick to poker and sports the takeout at ur track is 16.5%+

[Zenyatta 19-1]

See what I mean, all the sudden there is something called a takeout. No clue what that means

[biggie12]

Like rake called takeout in horse racing mostly for exotic wagers but in any case you can't beat horse racing even when u know what goes on in the back there is so many factors

that's not a winner in my book. Betting place and show on a short favorite not worth it.

5.00 and 4.20 isn't that bad might have been 3-1 or 7-2 second choice.

[boomer62]

I understand, but if I'm betting 400 it's not to place and show. I bet win and place, exactas and mix up a few trifectas.

yes it is tough, but you will never have more fun on a limited bankroll. All you need to do is hit one or two races to make a nice profit. Had a horse the other day at Gulfstream, I really liked. Went off 12-1. Bet $10 Wps 3 $4 exacta boxes with 3 favorites. Total investment $54. Horse won and paid $25 win,$10 place,$8 show got back $215-$30 $185 profit , exacta paid $140 had twice, $280 -$24 profit $256 . So profit $440 based on $54. I then put some away in my pocket so I play with their money and walk out with a couple bucks. Sometimes you hit again and can make some big scores. It's a great night out and easy way to Meet women who are their with friends to have fun and have no clue what they are doing.
