Hawthorne Pick-4 Payouts

[brianwspencer]

What a backwards day at Hawthorne. The two pick-4 sequences were so out of whack it's not even funny...it doesn't even make any sense. I think my math here is right

The $2 parlay on races 2-5 yesterday would pay $157.39. The pick-4 paid off a whopping $4,214.00 on a sequence of horses 7-2, 9-5, 8-5, and 6-5.

The $2 parlay on races 6-9 yesterday would pay $10,610.69. The pick-4 paid off a paltry $2,704.20 on a sequence of horses 46-1, 10-1, 5-1, and 3-5. In addition, the $2 pick-3 starting on race 6 with that huge winner paid $2,143.40.

Would have been a potentially great (the first sequence) or awful (latter sequence) day depending on which one you hit.

I don't get it.
