Finally...2 years on DT and a question I can answer in the smarty threads

and this isn't a set up..you really don't know?

A quinella is a single wager where you select two horses to finish first and second and can be in either order. An exacta is a single wager where you must pick the first and second place finishers in exact order. They are seperate betting pools with seperate payouts

so you get a 2-horse "box" for $1 in a quinella bet....i think?

where as a 2-horse "box" costs $2 in a $1 box exacta bet. correct?

yeah sorta....the order does not matter on the quinella wager where as in the exacta wager you have to have the exact order (unless you box it)

You need at least three horses (dogs) in a quinella box. A straight quinella is just two selections since you get it either way.

If a quinella is where you must pick the first two finishers, in either order, than what is a quesadilla?

Funny you should mention that....

quinella is to exacta

quesadilla is to enchilada

That is how I was planning on answering the question right off the bat.......but I decided to leave this softball for Bob to hit out of the park.
