I understand the ranking and odds, but lets say u put $50 down on 1 horse to win and he does, do u keep your initial $50 plus your winnings or does the $50 go toward the buying of the bet? Also, say if Big Brown wins and I make a bet for him to win and I make a bet for him to win, place, or show, do I make the most money off of the "WIN" bet or does it not matter? .If you don't want to place a WIN bet,...Is there a more strategical bet than "Win, Place, Show"? Thx:sweatdrop:

Currently Big Brown is 1-5 (You win $1 for every $5 you Bet) So if you bet $50 and he wins, when you return to the window to cash your ticket you will get back $60.
If he was 2-1 ( You get $2 for every $1 you bet, So if you were to bet $50 at these odds, and you won, you would go cash a ticket for $150
So you do get your money back if you win when you cash your ticket..... If that helps
Yes, thanks!, never been explained to me that way before....believe it or not. In the past someone gave me a serious math problem to figure my winnings. LOL!:yes:
You see it more often then not, that it isnt woth it, Take for example harlem rocker up at woodbine last saturday went off at 1/5 and had a HUGE show pool on him, and he came in 4th, if you wagered $2 to Show on every horse except harlem Rocker, you got $51 for a $12 ticket! which is good for SHOW wager!
But like i said and try to stress to new horse players is that everything is paid out on the pool basis, and some times its better to bet the show or place pool, example was BIg Brown in the preakness, he paid an extra 20 cents to place then he did to win, and the show wager paid the same as the win wager! Wierd huh! But those are the pools, so if you can watch the pools and see that there is less on Big Brown to Place well try him to place because it might pay more!
