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.

That is nuts! I checked drf.com and you are right. Only 12,360 in the early pool. Someone got a gift!!!

Yea, I don't usually expect things to be anything but backwards, but that was so wildly backwards that it took me aback.

A chalky pick-4 pays about 30X its parlay, and then a bomb-filled pick-4 is not only hit (how many times does the late pick-4 roll over on 3/4? Plenty), but hit for half the amount of the chalkfest earlier in the card.

I would honestly be thrilled if Arlington ran a longer meet and Hawthorne didn't have anything.
