I have you to thank!  I just added a few little flairs of my own to help nitpick through a couple of races and it really paid off.

Wins 15 x $250 = $3750
Places 2 x $100 = $200
Shows 10 x $50 = $500
Quinella  2 x $500 = $1000
Trifecta 3 x $1000 = $3000

Total = $8450

Pat, Are you aware that if you get a Trifecta, you don’t count it as a Quinella, or as a Win, Place & Show as well? If your figures are correct, that means that you picked 49 out of the 50 winners (23 Wins + 17 Quinellas + 9 Trifectas), also 48 out of the 50 Placed horses. Without going through all of the results, I know of at least 3 winners you missed (Race 37 - Magic Spitfire, Race 48 - Magic Roundabout & Race 50 - Holy Warrior).

No, I assumed it was like a real racetrack where you counted everything you got.  If you got a trifecta, then it counted as a win, place, show, quinella, and tri.  Nobody told me otherwise.  What you’re saying means my figures are vastly off for the whole month :frowning:

I’d been asking how to bet and stuff last month, wasn’t sure how to count it when results came in, so I thought you just counted everything.
Now I’m sad.

(btw, call me Trish.  I hate being called Pat.  Pat on SNL was super popular when I was a kid so that was referred to a lot and I got picked on that way, unfortunately).

Amended results 9/14/17:

Wins 4 x $250 = $1000
Places 6 x $100 = $600
Shows 11 x $50 = $550
Quinella  8 x $500 = $4000
Trifecta 9 x $1000 = $9000
Total: $15,150

I hope I did that right this time

Just finished going through results for the other days this month.  Here is my updated total for September:

9/4/17: $3,650
9/7/17: $5,150
9/11/17: $6,350
9/14/17: $15,150
TOTAL:  $30,300

Sorry. I must have missed your post last month, otherwise I’d have replied to it.

Basically, the way it works is as follows:-
Win ($250):- Only the first horse selected in each race counts - if you pick Horse A - Horse B - Horse C and either Horse B or Horse C wins, that doesn’t count as a Win. You only get a Win if Horse A wins.
Place ($100):- Only the second horse selected in each race counts - You only get a Place if Horse B finishes 2nd.
Show ($50):- Only the third horse selected in each race counts - You only get a Show if Horse C finishes 3rd.
Quiniella ($500):- You only get a Quiniella if Horse A wins [color=red]AND Horse B finishes 2nd. If they finish in the reverse order, that doesn’t count, nor does it count if Horse C and one of the other horses finish 1-2 in any order.
Trifecta ($1,000):- You only get a Trifecta if Horse A wins [color=red]AND Horse B finishes 2nd [color=red]AND Horse C finishes 3rd. If all three horses finish 1-2-3 but not in the order you placed them, that doesn’t count.

As I explained in my previous post, if you correctly select a Trifecta, it does not additionally count as a Quiniella and a Win and a Place and a Show. It only counts as a Trifecta. If you correctly select a Quiniella, it does not also count as a Win and a Place.

Hopefully, this helps.

PS: I wouldn’t be sad if my picks had earned $15,150 in one day. I would be happy if my picks earn that much in two days. My best ever day was a little over $10,000 and I’ve had a few in the $9,000 range, but apart from that, I tend to average about $5,500.

Nah I was just sad I had to go back through all the results.  It took a minute. 
I’ve been counting the horses I picked to win as wins, places as places, shows as shows, etc.  It was Mainly the quinella and trifectas I was double counting.  So if I had wps in the right order on a race, I was counting it as win, place, show, quinella, and tri.  That’s where my main error was.

btw, Shanthi should sticky your post for betting newbs :slight_smile:

Just read the Handicapping Sticky.  Durrrr.  Shoulda read that a month ago! 

sorry I’m so dense
