looks to be almost 75/1 pacerfan, win price is for two dollar wager divide in half for odds to 1,hope ya had few on the nose?

 

[pacerfan]

Thx..that makes sense.

Didn't have a dime on it...if i would have he would've finished where the oddsmakers had him

 

[pacerfan]

How common is a 3k exacta such as this one??

 

[Valuist]

I think you mean a $1200 exacta. Pretty rare. As for a $3000 exacta, I don't recall ever seeing one in 20 years.

 

[pacerfan]

Thanks, V..Yes 1200...

Are trifectas even worth the work? Exactas seem more 'efficient'

every race is differant,everyone bets differant that's what makes the game interesting.my biggest ex. was 700 something for 2 bucks,not very good on tri's so don't play to many.only irs tri's ever hit was at dog track and that was alway's playing contenders first and second and all for third.if you can get a winner the rest will come.value today seem's to be in pick three or four if you can got a key horse in a race or two you can go deeper in the others hoping for that shot to come in and a nice payoff!
