I need helping with my derby payouts? If i place $5 for win/place/show in my horse came in place-what i win?

Question

I have eight belles and she cam in 2nd with a $5 win/place/show what would i win with the track odds.

Answer 1

place and show money x 2.5

Answer 2

You should care more about eight bells then your stupid money...

Answer 3

You lose $5 for the win, but you won the place and show bets.  Eight Belles paid $10.60 for the place and $6something for the show.  Multiply both of those by 2.5 and add that together to get your full payout.

If it was me, I'd compensate myself for my bet (pay myself back the $15 bet) and then donate the profit to the Barbaro Memorial Fund to find a cure for laminitis so we can save our heroes like Eight Belles.

Answer 4

I'm trying to find out the same thing! Only dummy me tried to bet $5. win/place/show but it cost me $15. (Think I should have just bet show and then all 3 wouuld have been covered - for $5.). I may be cashing my tickets in today - if I do I will post again and let you know.
