Title: I need an explanation
Post by: TGJB on November 28, 2008, 05:37:56 PM
Okay, I hit the High Five at Hol, which was really only a matter of throwing out the favorite (who had bounced off every previous effort and was coming off a big top), and boxing the 6 contenders.

They show the pool as 130k. They show the payoff as 74k. No 10 cent tickets, no consos.

No explanation.

I have now been told there are dime tickets on track, but I\'m not done asking questions.

My question is this. Did that High Five score get you even for the day? :-)

My GUESS:

Looks like 2 winners for a buck each. From Equibase Charts:

Thurs: Pool = $58,516; Carryover = $46272 (Takeout ~21%)

Fri: Pool = $130731; Net After Takeout = $103377.

Add Fri Net + Thurs Carryover = ~150k. Divide by 2 winners = $75k each.
