You just repeated what he said.
Sorry. I'm rushing and not explaining myself.
He said

He lost $2 because when you box a exacta it is like making 2 bets. It was like making 2 $20 bets. He lost $20 on one of them. ON the other one, he got his $20 bet back plus the $18 he won.
But the OP said

I bet $40 exacta at Evangline Downs that hit and I only got $38 back.
OP bet an exacta, not an exacta box. But previous posters is explaining it as if it was a box bet.

That's because that's the only sensible explanation other than the OP being the only person around the country to bet an exacta on that race at Evangeline and the tracks taking out their vig.

Payout on 2 dollar exacta was 30.60.

Did you use exacta box? If so, how many horses in the box?

Just two. Odds 8/5 and 3-1.
Seems pretty straight forward.
