He owes you $100 based on how you wrote your question....:shrug:

Did he give you odds or say he would pay what the payoff would be?

Yes in a heartbeat..



Never know whats going to happen in a horse race. And the horse was running his 3rd hard race in 5 weeks.

If he booked a $100 show wager, then he owes you $15. (50 times $2.30, or $115, less your $100 investment)

This is correct. You only win .30 cents for every $2 "invested". In your case, you invested the equivalent of 50 $2.00 tickets. The payoff is 50 x .30, or $15.00.

I'm not sure how many more ways there is to explain this, but take $15 profit and let it go..........:SIB

If he booked it YES but the way it is to me is ....."Hey So and So, I'll bet you $100 that Curlin shows"....so of course So and So not thinking Curlin will show says "you've got a bet, you're on":s4: ....that's the way I read his I bet a friend of mine that Curlin would show for $100, How much does he owe me?

Thanks -

Original post he said nothing about his friend booking the bet...:nono:..later yes, in which he makes some $$$$
