Boxing 3 numbers for a $2 exacta ($12)
Boxing 3 numbers for a $2 trifecta ($12)
Results:
1) Lost $2, lost $12, and lost $12
2) Lost $2, lost $12, and lost $12
3) $6.20 win, lost $12, and lost $12
4) Lost $2, lost $12, and lost $12
5) $9.40 win, $73.40 win, and lost $12
6) $3.40 win, lost $12, and lost $12
7) $6.80 win, $29.40 win, and lost $12
8) Lost $2, lost $12, and lost $12
9) $3.80 win, lost 12, and lost $12
0) Lost $2, lost $12, and lost $12
1) Lost $2, lost $12, and lost $12
2) $6.80 win, lost $12 and lost $12
total wagered:
$2 win bet on each 3 horses = 36 win bets x $2 = $72.00
$12 ($2 exacta wager) = 12 bets x $12.00 = $144.00
$12 ($2 trifecta wager) = 12 bets x $12.00 = $144.00
Total wagered: $360.00
Total won: $139.20
Total profit: $0
Total loss for wagering 12 races:
-229.80
I realize of course, that these numbers are only supposed to provide "guidelines" for the bettor, and they are supposed to play them along with their
own numbers.
It wasn't profitable today, although I admit nobody can judge by one day.
Still, -$229.80 is a
huge loss based on wagering $360.00.
It would be for me.
