    Horse Betting Help Please

    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

    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

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

    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

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

    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.

    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.
