Did I get screwed or am i being greedy
« on: July 14, 2023, 08:15:48 PM »
Taking in the action tonight at Saratoga after a day of Thoroughbred racing. Invested in a pick 5 because I thought the big chalk in the opener was vulnverable. Good news is, he was, the bad news is i caught a pick 5 that i think i got anal raped on. $3749 in the pool and here are the prices.

Race 1 39.80 with a 1-5 shot beat
Race 2 6.40 with a 8-5 shot beat
Race 3  2.20 Big chalk with Bartlett
Race 4 5.10 with a 1-1 Beat
Race 5 5.90 with Alex Chartrand driving with a Kakaley 6-5 Beat

For .50 it paid $214.25.   My anus is sore

Payout dont look that bad. One longshot, 4 other horses first or second fav probably. Bet a small handle track and you never know what you get paid.

After the 20% take out that leaves a $3,000 net pool. This means there were 14 winning tickets. I don’t think you got screwed. It’s just 13 other people got lucky like you. This is the problem with the majority of harness tracks nowadays. The handles are so low it is hard to hit anything very big. The pool at the big Saratoga track had a Pick 5 pool of $445,600 and I believe a low 15% take out. Net pool was $378,760. If only 14 people had the win it would have paid $27,054 each. It is all about the pool and the take out rate. With the exceptions of The Meadowlands and Northfield Park harness pools stink for the more exotic bets.

First Pick 5 at Mohawk is guaranteed 100k every night. Doubt Northfield does that.
Just checked. PICK 5 at Northfield was under 10k last Saturday lmao.

Could be asshole tax. Saratoga raceway takes out extra 20 percent of pool if an asshole hits. Check with other 13 winners - they may have gotten better  payoff.

No big prices. Not like 19-1 in first race wasn’t bettable. All other horses were first or second choice mornin* line. You actually got paid too much.
Johnny Johnson fucked up Chicago harness racing. I hope you die !!!!

Child, please.

You're betting p-5s in a $3000 pool and you think you got screwed.   ngc3 ngc3 ngc3

Ever think  the "bad payoff" was the leg 1 winner?  Maybe that was really a 10/1 horse that went off 19/1?  Maybe that 1/5 losing chalk wasn't worthy of 1/5?

Ever think of that? 

No.  No you did not.

Instead your analysis of what went wrong includes the fact Alex Chartrand drove a winner.

Really?  ngc3 ngc3

Your ass is sore because your head is stuck in there.

No need to thank me.

We're here to help.
