Horse Racing Question

ILMW · Feb 27, 2008

If you lay 400 on a horse to show and it results in a show that paid 2.10, how much do you get back? Or should I ask is the payout of 20.00 correct? Essentially getting 20.00 on top of what you risked.

Thanks guys, now I know why I dont play horses, dont know enough about them. Alot of risk for 20.00. Last time I do that.

So I guess your horse finished 4th..you are now classified as a bridge jumper....

No he did show, I got the 20.00 payout, did not know if it was correct. Was favored to win 1/1 but I did not want to take a huge risk, so played it to show, whoopie. If I known it was a huge risk for minimal amount would not do it again. Bridge jumper, yes but today had the bungie cord attached, no more though.
