Kentucky Downs 2017 Meet

[Lythande]

Aw, I think you weren't looking at what I was looking at. The payout for the superfecta was nearly half a million dollars. This was a mathematical impossibility, IMHO, because all of the pools wagered on this race did not add up to this figure. If you can show me how the odds could have achieved this payout, I'd seriously like to learn that.

And, for the record, I don't have RDSS yet. I'm still weighing the various products out there. Whether they charge you up front and daily race cards are a pittance, or they give it to you for free and then charge you an arm and a leg for the race cards, they all look more than I can justify spending at this stage in my handicapping development. I am still working on my own personal templates. Granted, mine lack some significant pieces of information, which I would really like to obtain. Still and all, my templates didn't cost me anything, and are giving me an opportunity to master the basics and the basic math.

Thanks for responding

I'll just respond to what's in bold-type.

An example would be: if I bought the only winning ticket for any payout,
and I only bought it for $1 but the published payout is displayed as
a $2 ticket payout, you will see a number larger than the actual pool size;
hence larger than what my ticket was worth.

The Superfecta payouts reported by Brisnet and Equibase are the payouts to $1 so that $493,651 Super payout on a pool size of $61,268 is normalized to $1, or $49,361 for $0.10. Undoubtedly someone or a few had a $0.10 super on the winning combo and won the $49K - nice! (And the Amwager mutuel result - top image - shows the payouts to $2, which can be even more confusing!)
