        Best way to calculate unless the payoff is listed as a $1 payoff which will sometimes be in the exacta, trifecta, and superfecta is this:
        The $2 payoff is $3.80
        you bet $30
        divide your payment by 2 and multiply by the payoff
        30/2 * 3.8 = 57

          Easiest way to figure it out is multiply the payout with HALF of the amount you bet.

          So in this case $3.80 x 15 = $57

              Might I suggest you go to www.drf.com and use the search feature and look up wager tutorial. If you're not certain how much you've won, how do you if you've be short changed?

                Yes, what they said is correct and we all thank you for letting us express our expertise.
                However, that being said, I sincerely hope you aren't betting seriously...........One of the first pre requisites is learning to read the tote board and figure out, at the bare minimum, how much your return is, etc. from your outlay.
                Here's hoping your just having fun !

                  or
                  3.80 x 30 = 114 /2 = 57
