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?

You can get a quesadilla at Taco Bell for $3. The box is free.

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.
