If it’s a favorite parade you will lose money even if you win. I’m chickenshit so I box everything, but it makes the bet more expensive.
Your winnings are based on the odds of the horses that come in.
LSU fan, not if you box them. That covers any order but you pay for it.
Winnings are not based on the odds of the horse that is for win bets only. Trifecta payouts are based on how many tickets have the right combination. But most people always throw a favorite in the exacta, trifecta, super, etc etc and if that favorite wins the then the payout becomes low and everyone has that favorite in there exotic bets.

I thought they each came out of a certain pool, like the tri pool, exacta pool, etc? Going off the odds in the win pool is a good judge of the value of your horse. If something is even money but runs 3rd I know my exacta that I just hit will be a shite ton more, right?
I’m not a gambler, though, and don’t understand any of the math involved, I just know the animals.
