Bets are a loss. I said you bet them all for $50. He thinks cause the horse won his place and show
Bets are losses. It's funny trying to explain this. Am I the idiot here?

No.

If he bet $50 across the board he wins 25 times the win, place and show payoffs minus the $150 he bet.

Us Northerners bet 3 races a year. He still thinks he loses the place and show. I google it. When you bet across the board and horse wins, you win all 3 bets. Pretty fucking simple. Stubborn packer loving prick lol

The Packer fan needs it in writing.

Traditional horseracing betting wagers - Win, Place, Show



WIN - You bet your horse to finish first.If your horse wins you collect.
PLACE - You bet your horse to finish second. If your horsefinishes first or second you win.
SHOW - You bet your horse to finish third. If your horsefinishes first, second or third you win.
ACROSS THE BOARD - You bet your horse to win, place andshow. If your horse finishes anywhere in the first three positionsyou win.

This is the reason guys walk around the track here picking up tickets.

One guy claims he makes $35000 in the 6 week meet here.

A lot of betters don't have a clue.
