Place Vs. Fave/Long Exacta Running Tab

[randallscott35]

Well Snipes, Andy agrees with you.

Yes...here is how it works....ANY race where a 10-1 or more finishes first or second counts. There are two column you are computing....column 1 is variable X which equals the place price which will ALWAYS be of some value.....column 2 is Y which equals zero if the horse won or finished second to anyone other than the favorite and Y equals the exacta price only when the horse finished second AND the favorite won.

Now, if two 10-1 plus horses run first and second they both count as the race is effectively TWO examples. Do not think of these as races....just examples for the study. In this case, obviously, there will be two different X numbers and Y will equal zero for both.

Thus it looks like I have to add to my total for today and the study will go much quicker b/c rather than races, it will be total outcomes for longshots 10-1 or over in the win or place spot...
