Good Racing Luck

Thanks, Gus. Good Luck

Thanks Devil, good luck to you as well.

One winning ticket sweeps the pool $105,000+. Some real bombs but the pck 4 was 6x the parlay.

Good deal, I'm trying to figure out how the Double ending in race 8 @ GP paid $1270.60 (23-1 over 33-1) and the PK3 Paid $246.60 (9-2, 23-1, 33-1):zz:

How much of the pool did the conso take out of that pick 3?

It must of been a big chunk as the conso paid $6.20. There was basically the same amount in the pools ($37k to $34k) going in.

Inside Post on drf claims a Canadian player bet a $110 part wheel 4/all/1,6 in the 6th/7th/8th sequence.:eek:

That explains it. Are we sure that PG is not in Canadian as he's a heavy PK3 player?

Pick 3: 7th-8th-9th to Miss Netta at 4/5 paid $3,178.
Hard to believe someone bet a $110 ticket to a $69 first time starter. Must be a Catalano fan

4/all/1,6 is 18 combinations as there were 9 betting interests in the middle leg, so (ignoring the fact that the math doesn't come out even (maybe some impact of a currency exchange difference)) if the $110 ticket was weighted equally the bettor would have played the combo six times and had 6 winning $1 tickets. That means they would have collected $1,479.60 for $110 or 12.5 to 1 payoff. Not so great considering it took a $49.60 winner in the all leg to get to that point. I guess they also would have collected 6 times on the consolation pick 3 for another $36 increasing the payoff to 12.78 - 1.

If they really liked the Catalano horse they could have created a parlay with the 4 in the first leg and the other two in the last. $110 to win on the 4 would have returned $605 and then with equal weighting $300 (with $5 for a Molson) to win on the long shot winner returns $10,410 (there would have been some impact on the win pool and payoff but I am going to assume it would not have been much) and a payoff of 93.63-1.

Since the exacta in the last leg was 1 - 6 I am going to presume that they also had that at $502.2 for $2.

I believe it was implied the guy had the $1 pick 3 110 times. Had he not wagered, two $1 tickets would have split 27k+.

Ok I get it.

So if the ticket was 1/9/2 = 18 *110, it cost $1,980 for which he got (110 * 246.6) =$27,126 for a 12.7 - 1 payoff.

I would still contend that if they liked the single in the first leg and the other 2 (one of which was 33.7 - 1) in the third leg that much there was a better way to invest $2,000 then going all in the middle.

I suppose...Now that the results can be reviewed it makes it easy to play what if. He could have reaped half of what he got back with a $2 play. Obviously he hurt his price the way it played out.
I wouldn't be surprised if the same guy had 3/4 or even swept the p-5. Four
$.50 tickets were cashed while there was only one ticket on the p-4.

Good point on the pick 5. The pick 5 paid 25% of the parlay price which is the lowest since the introduction of the pick 5 at Gulfstream last year.

The point on the pick 3 is that the result was a "best case scenario" as the next to longest shot on the board won the middle (all) leg and the lesson for all of us to learn for the future is that the player turned it into a 13 -1 shot based on his bet.
