Speaking of seniority, and age before beauty and all that, here's a little math lesson for Rick, who seems to think a $20 bill was all it took to skew this payoff.
Pool 54,000
Ill use a 25% take, leaving 40,000
If the DD had paid $300 (a conservative figure) that would have been $265 on the number.
As it is it paid $74, meaning there was $1135 on the ticket.
$835 extra. Pretty close to my 'off the cuff' $1000 wheel comment.
So Rick, would you call an 800 punch on two longshots "simply niggling over nickels"
PS Out of curiosity, I looked up the matrix for the race. No question that single # was skewed low, paying only a little more than the 1-1 favorite, but the #11 in the second half also paid high to win in the race, making it look even worse. It was near second choice with a few horses in the DD's.
You think reading sheets or pp's is hard...nothing compared to trying to make sense of the betting, where lunatics and drunks cohabit with insiders for attention.
