First of all, when you see it in the paper, what is the casual reader (who must be somewhat interested in the horses to be reading it? going to say? Whoppee! (cynically)<br /><br /><br />Yeah, you can tell me wel it is only a $.10 wager, but at a minimum, most people will play a four horse box. So they are looking at it as getting $43 for $2.40; not a great return for a 'super' bet. And certainly, people seeing a $43 payoff on an exotic wager is not going to get them to show up at the track or log on to their ADW. <br /><br />You can tell me about those $.10 wagers that pay hundreds or thousands, but those are far and few in between. <br /><br />Some tracks allow you to wager $1 to win yet the payoffs at the track and in the papers show the $2 payoff. At a minimum, can't we at least print in the paper the $1 payoff so at least that $43.34 payoff shows up as $433.40 and may entice people to show up? That being said, if you really are going to try to lure people in with a $.10 wager you are wasting your time unless you come up with a way to have more balanced fields so you avoid these miniscule payoffs.Allannoreply@blogger.com
