Show Prices from 4StarDave

[infrontby1]

It's pretty obvious that the winner would be pay $2.10 for show. But what about the 2nd and 3rd choices? Shouldn't they have paid $2.10 as well? After the track takeout, if you add up the money bet on those three horses, there's nothing left to give back to the bettors

(Remember the old days of the minus show pool, something the tracks dreaded and would even cancel the wager all together when they sensed this scenario would take place?)

Is there a new way of how show prices are calculated nowadays?

Net pool pricing. Tough to explain in detail, but there is some info available if you search around the net.

The host who accepts the bridgejumper covers the minus pool so that the other payoffs aren't affected, or something like that. Mark Cramer found that out when his ADW threaten to shut him out after making a bridgejump a couple of years ago.

It really doesn't have anything to do with bridgejumping bets though. The inflated prices on other runners in those races is a side effect.

Yeah, but my others weren't too shabby.

In my opinion that was a great race to "take a race off the board" in order to make the 15 plays......and it's almost a 2.0 roi race...but I can be way off with that statement

It also allows easier Canadian/USA cross betting with different dollar exchanges.

You used to be able to calculate the place and show pay-offs, no you can not unless you know where every dollar was bet.

As a bonus, betting against bridgejumpers is more palatable, as if your horse shows with the bridgejump, frequently you still get over $3.00

Also when the bridge jumpers are otb people often ask "where did the money go".......for a million dollars I couldn't explain net pool pricing
