Ultimately, no impact is not quite accurate from my viewpoint. I understand what you are saying, however,

1. I was given the favorite since I was not allowed to use my own alternate. (Side note, is this available on Xpressbet for Cali tracks I'm told? I don't have any ADW in Missouri, so not sure on this). So instead of assigning my scratch to the next likely winner, the 1, I was given the favorite.

2. I was given very little time whatsoever to make an alternate plan based on knowing now I have two tickets to the likely favorite without knowing the new payout to the favorite. (likely split in half I think based on the will pays I had written down originally). I am not one to hedge last year or so when alive to a horizontal but in this scenario where you are down to one horse and the likely fav with two tickets now, I may have considered vertical wagers to make the best of the situation. I froze a bit but also didn't have much time to decide imo.

This was all for a purse only scratch due to a small graphics error many hours earlier in the day. Wow.
