Basic question about payoffs

[Roghaltz]

Hi,
I am pretty new to harness racing and have been having a bit of trouble determining the bet amount for the exacta and trifecta payoffs posted on the US Trotting website.

Specifically, I have been looking at Saratoga and Buffalo. Does anyone know what the bet amount is for the payoffs listed, or should I assume $2 for each?

Is there a list somewhere that shows the bet/payoff amounts for each harness track? (I realize a lot of people would like to see standardization of this)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Most of the time you can assume $2 bases for tris and ex's on those charts, I believe.

The only thing one can do is cross check USTA with ADW results a few times and hope it stays constant.

Win/Place/Show are always for $2 ticket

So are Exactas except for CALX and Hazel which report to the dollar.

As for the other exotics the emergence of the 50¢ tri and 10¢ super has messed up the USTA payoffs so much that I don't even bother with their mutuels anymore.

Thanks for the replies.

I think the two in question are both on a $2 basis. I have been following Tioga and the USTA seems to report results for $0.50 Tris (which is the minimum bet as you all know).
