Exactor Betting on the Key Horse

This is a brown Zune, you can win a lot of these by Exactor Betting on Big Brown. They are both brown just like Los Angeles. In the meantime take this survey because its so cool.

Using last Sunday’s Queen’s Plate Trial Stakes as an example:

Harlem Rocker was the clear cut favorite however he was only going to pay about 30 cents on every dollar bet. One way to maximize your profit in this situation would be to Exactor bet him on every horse.

With about 10 minutes to post these were the exactor odds

East End Tap 32 to 1
Not Bourbon 6 to 1
Chasin the Tornado 47 to 1
Solitare 15 to 1
Sebastian’s Song 34 to 1
Pewter 14 to 1

To ensure a profit this is the amount you would have to bet on each horse (approx. money back in brackets)

East End Tap $2 (64.00)
Not Bourbon $20 (120.00)
Chasin the Tornado $2 (94.00)
Solitare $5 (75.00)
Sebastian’s Song 34 to 1 $2 (68.00)
Pewter $5 (70.00)

Why this works: This strategy is a $36 investment, with the lowest payout returning a 28.00 profit and the most likely scenario generating a 100.00 profit. Much better than just betting 36 bucks straight up on Harlem Rocker to win. Apply the same strategy to Big Brown on Saturday, but multiply 36 by 10,000 to pay for your child’s tuition.

Why this doesn’t work:

- This requires the ability to do some basic math, so this excludes 87% of the people who bet on horses

- You will have to read the exactor bet board and distribute your bet money accordingly, by the time you figure out the math, the lineup to bet on the big race will be very very long, but hey you might get to meet some cool people while in line.

- The Key Horse has to win. Not Bourbon won the above race while Harlem Rocker choked and finished in 4th. Big Brown might do the same or someone who bet the house on Casino Drive might throw a rock at Big Brown down the stretch. Or worse some feminist might stand in front of him.
