Why are some Minimum Probable Payoffs based on a $1 base wager amount and others based on a $2 base wager amount?
The base wager amounts can differ depending on the track when it comes to the reported Probable Payoffs for Exacta, Daily Double, and Quinella wagers. Some tracks use a $1 base wager amount, while others use a $2 base wager amount. Because of this, it’s helpful to check the displayed base wager amount when setting your minimum Probable Payoff.
How is my wagering dollar distributed?
When you place a wager, your dollar is combined into the appropriate pool at the host track. Each type of wager—Win, Place, Show, and any Exotic bets—has its own pool. Since all wagers are pooled together at the host track, the earnings are shared among the horsemen, the state, and the racetracks. How the funds are divided depends on the agreements in place at that track.
