estimating fair exacta payouts

__________


every writer I've ever read on this subject states that this is the correct way to do it is this - or something very similar to this:

9/1 over 11/1_________9*11 +(1) = $108_______for a $1.00 exacta

but isn't it true that a 9/1 shot over a 11/1 shot will usually pay much more in a 12 horse field than a 5 horse field?

I don't recall any of the discussion of this including field size

it would probably be very difficult or maybe even impossible to prepare a matrix which factors in field size

I certainly couldn't do it_________I'm not a mathlete



but, in all the writings I've seen on this subject field size was never mentioned

so, if it's not considered aren't the writings on this, unless they mention or consider field size, lacking?
