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
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
Just read the Handicapping Sticky. Durrrr. Shoulda read that a month ago!
sorry I’m so dense
