List of cheap exotic bets
 

Can we get something like this and make it a sticky thread?

Arlington Park: 50 cent Trifectas
Arlington Park: $1 Pick-5
Arlington Park: $1 Pick-6
Beulah: 25 cent "Fortune 6"
Calder: 50 cent Pick-4
Charles Town: 50 cent superfecta
Churchill: 50 cent Pick-3
Churchill: 50 cent Pick-4
Del Mar: 50 cent Pick-4 (2010, proposed)
Delaware: 50 cent Pick-4's
Finger Lakes: 50 cent Pick-4
Indiana Downs: $1 Pick-6
Keeneland: 50 cent Pick-3
Keeneland: 50 cent Pick-4
Lone Star: 50 cent Pick-4
Lone Star: $1 Pick-5
MAGNA 5: $1 Pick-5 (seasonal)
Monmouth: 50 cent Pick-5
Philadelphia Park: 50 cent Pick-4's

10 cent superfectas available nearly everywhere but:
Woodbine and Mountaineer

Please add any you know of -- both multirace and intrarace wagers.

I think we should define "cheap" as:
- below $1 for intrarace (vertical) wagers
- below $1 for daily doubles, Pick-3's and Pick-4's
- below $2 for Pick-5's and Pick-6's

I apologize if this mirrors any previous thread...

churchill's $0.50 pk3 and pk4

lone star $0.50 pk5

-bt-

Arlington Park

50 cent Trifectas

I'm pretty sure Lone Star pick 5 is 1.00 min.

Churchill has .50 Tri's

Most all have the .10 Supers now, short of Philly, Woodbine and Mountaineer. Love this .10 supers, especially out west. Usually there's a signer or 2 per card out there.

sorry $0.50 pk4's
and
$1 pk5's


which makes no sense imo

-bt-

Philly has 10 cent supers and 50 cent Pick 4s but the races with supers are limited. Mountaineer has 50 cent supers, which is a step in the right direction.

The lone holdouts, of major tracks, that have not gotten into fractional wagering are Woodbine and the Maryland circuit (except Colonial, which isn't in Maryland).

NT

Indiana Downs has a $1 pk6.

Arlington $1 pick 5

Keeneland $0.50 pick 4's

This should be done on a takeout basis not on a base wager size basis...What looks cheap may not be and vice versa.

Woodbine / Mohawk offer .20 Pick 4 and Superfectas, but are only available in Canada.

Calder has two 50 cent pic 4's a day, and 10 cent supers every race

AP has a $1 pick-5 & pick-6.

You have a good point. I was just attempting to compile a list of where the most affordable wagers were as a function of the base bet, so that those of us with a more limited bankroll can play more often or wider in terms of combinations. But takeout is certainly a consideration, and if bankroll size were not an issue, it would be the leading criterion for selecting a track and race to wager on.

Charles Town offers .50 Supers.

Keeneland has $.50 Pick 3's, Finger Lakes $.50 Pick 4's.

If you like a horse in a race, do you really skip that race or a sequence it's in because of the take-out from your envisioned winnings?

If you like a horse in a sequence that has a 15% takeout vs. a 25% takeout it is something to consider. The point is that there are many choices and no urgency to wager into a pool that takes 10% more of your money.

If the horse in the 25% pool looks good why not simply place a flat win bet at 15% ?
