Why are some Minimum Probable Payoffs based on a $1 base wager amount and others based on a $2 base wager amount?
Base wager amounts vary from track to track for the reported Probable Payoffs of Exacta, Daily Double, and Quinella wagers. Some tracks use a $1 base wager amount when reporting their Probable Payoffs and other tracks use a $2 base wager amount. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to the displayed base wager amount when defining your minimum Probable Payoff.
How is my wagering dollar distributed?
Your wager will be commingled into the appropriate pool of the host track. Each Win, Place, Show, and any Exotic wager will have their own pool. Because all wagers are incorporated into the host track's wagering pools, the horsemen, the state and the racetracks share in the revenue. Distribution depends upon the agreements in place at the host track.
