Laurel Park has now cancelled racing for today not sure long term but soon it will all be shut down imo.Comment -
it would depend on field size in the 4 races. the more horses in the sequence the higher the payout even with 4 chalks. conversely, if the fields are all short, 6 or less it would be less. an average payout for the odds you listed would be somewhere around 25.00 for .50. you have to have a price horse or two in there in the 6-1 to 9-1 range or higher to get more. if your price horse defeats a heavy favorite in any of the legs you have wiped out players who singled that particular favorite to save money. i would not play this type of bet if you are a novice. this is horizontal multiple wagering and you are at the mercy of the track who select the races in the sequence. usually there is a maiden race involved in these and most of the horses might not have ever run in a race. i would play vertical wagering in individual races with at least 8 horses and with past performance lines. this would involve picking a winner and the putting other horses underneath that you think will finish 2nd exactas, 3rd trifectas, 4th superfectas. you can play any of these or all of these in any given race. your result is immediate and you can move on to the next race to reinvest your winnings or chase your losses.Comment -
Ok thanks for that explanation
With pick 4s and such you can pick multiple horses for races though right?
so does that affect your potential payout or just the cost to make the bet?Comment -
of course you can play every horse in every leg and guarantee that you will hit it but don't. 2x3x2x1 would cost 6.00 for a .50 bet for example. just multiply the number of horses that you play in first leg x the number in 2nd leg and so forth and divide by 2. once again this is a frustrating but exciting bet if you can make it to the fourth leg and then see your payout on the will pays in advance. it seems it is remarkably easy to get 3 out of 4 which means you lost out on your 3 winners totally unless you played individually in their designated races. it can save you money by if you get "alive" as the 4 races unfold since you probably will just wait it out. an experienced player will play the pick 4 and also bet vertically or a win bet too. as an ancient person i find it hard to believe that anyone born after 1980 has no clue about this gambling venue. yes, they have heard about it and know it exists but sports betting has taken over. between i'd say 1962-1990 this was the only game in town legally. people used to flock to the track in droves you couldn't get a seat in the grandstand and now you would be the only one sitting there if they haven't closed it off. of course home betting and off track parlors totally eliminated the need to actually go unless you want to see it live. full card simulcasting which didn't exist before 1985 has offered players many more options along with expanded types of wagering.Comment -
South Africa in the last race at Fairview (Race8), I like the #3 Beethoven. Win and Place. Should be 3/1 or so.
I'm due. Go get some.Comment -
Pick 4 is picking the winning horse in 4 straight race
All tracks start there pick 4 different races. But most pick 4 are the last 4 races of the day for that track.
You can pick more then one horse in each race example
123/45/65431/27
3x2 is 6 x5is 30x2 is 60. Then divide by 2 cost would 30 for a 50 cent pick 4
But when you bet the price of ticket will show
In your case since you don't handicapp put a few favorites in then a long shot like 10 to 1 gulustre am yesterday pick pick 5 paid 52,000 for 50 cent.
I would get everyone picks. Then toss in a few. Hope that makes sense. Some tracks do 50 cent pick 3. 20 cent pick 4. Canada tracks do that
To figure the price of the cost
3x2x5x2. Feel free with anything else. We all have time on our handComment -
Biggie. It's like trying to middle. So I bet team A at pinnacle at -105. Team B at euro +110 so team B wins. I win 5.00. If pinnacle wins I'm even. All for 100 action
So you play for 1000. You win 50 how often do you get that. And you would need at least 4 books. Need patience lot 's of people do this. ? I can't use these over sea books. It's a pain to get paidComment -
what tracks you betting today, Harter?Comment -

The guy up top. Who is that. I mean the safest play in all betting a show bet. If you want to grind it out.
On the other hand pick 4 bets they are tough going g to pay. But a guy once told me. If you like a 8 to 1 horse the o lt bet is a win bet. You don't need any exotic tic plays at that price. Each has there own play I don't think k you can cap a pi k 4. Tgere is always going to be a few horses that get in there. So you just toss numbers In. Gl to all think positive. Encourage these guys. They will have funComment -

No its not like trying to middle. On a middle you could lose money on juice. You cant lose money on an arb, unless u bet team A and site b changes odds before u bet on team b.
You would need every out you have access to not just 4.
u would not win $5 on example above your betting amount would be different for each wager on team a and b. I will let you figure out what that should be. It will give you something to think about.Comment -
Har, sorry Boss, not really sure what track and what your bets are. My guess is Oaklawn since you had mentioned it, but do you mean Races 1-4 and then do you mean you're placing those exact horses to W-P-S or what?
Sorry to bother you, but hard to tail something like that post without a legend.Comment -
Wow I cant believe I used to do this for a living I have not picked a winner in 2 days I just it a 9/5 shot at Oaklawn.The prob is im trying to beat the favorites and play prices which seems not to happen.If Gulfstream races Saturday im not printing pps im just picking the numbers off the board like I did during my old days in the 90.s at Phoenix greyhound park. One night I one a grand and never used a program. That happened several times. Tonight's movie feature Escape From New York!Comment -
I suck. I can't believe that horse ran such a bad race it was like he didn't try from his last race. Maybe these closings is a message. Watch the other horse I posted will win. Sorry ez.Comment -
