I have a question for you guys. This may be stupid and probably is, however, I proposed a buddy of mine on a wager that curlin would show in the race tomorrow and he said if I give me "proper" odds he would consider the bet. Is it possible to figure out what it would pay. Curlin is 6-5 right now to win. So I figure it has to be a pretty large ML...-500???, considering there are only 7 horses. Any way to figure this out more precisely? Thanks.

I am not sure if you are asking what it will pay or what the fair price would be. It will likely pay $2.10 or $2.20 unless longshots win and place, I think that is -2000 and -1000. Based on historical data odds-on favorites in stakes races have actually made money to show despite an average payout of <$2.30. So if you wanted to make money on the wager you shouldn't be offering more than -1200, even offering track odds would be just slightly above break even.

Bishop,

You answered both parts I guess I was trying to ask. Appreciate the help. Is it possible that a 2 dollar ticket for curlin to show could pay less than 2 dollars???

[the machine]

this is the first time ive ever bet on anything besides poker.

i have R2R, curlin, and hard spun on an exacta box at 5$ each bet.

given the odds in the NY post at 8:5 7:2 and 8:5 respectively, what is the payout on this?????
