depends on the contract but usually jockeys get about 10 %

By the "best", you probably mean what is the highest probability of getting a return on your investment?  Good question, no easy answer. The safest bet would be the odds on favorite to show. Since the favorite wins about 35% of the time, you got a relatively good chance of getting a return with this bet. The problem here is that you're betting dollars to win dimes! And you could lose your hard earned $2. You mentioned wheeling an exacta. This is tough because you are picking a winner, and there's no guarantee that you're going to win more than you bet. Perhaps a more conservative "part-wheel" bet would be a better idea.\nThe exotics (D.D., triple,superfecta  pick 3, pick 4, pick 6, whatever) can return big payoffs , but tend to be money burners.\nDon't overdo these. I like to make exacta and triple "box" bets:\nExample: 8 horse field, $1exacta box on four hourses = $12bet. Depending on how they finish, you've got a decent chance to make a significant profit. A $1 triple box on 4 horses =$24.\nObviously, betting like this too often can be hazardous to your financial health. Conclusion: The longer you bet on the horses, the more you'll realize that there are no best, or sure bets.\nMy advise; go to the track, relax, get a beer and hot dog, watch the beautiful horses in action, and bet conservatively. Enjoy.

each man paid 23.5 but they both got the 1.5 back, so to the $47 you andd not the money kept by the keeper but the money got back by the men who paid for it. so it would be 47 + 3 = 50 it's all there. the money kept by the keeper is in the $47.00 ( 45 for the gift and 2 for him self)

Players - There are 22 players, each with a box numbered between 1 and 22.  Each day a player is chosen at random to play the game.  That person's space is filled the following day, and each person remains in the game as a box holder until they are selected to play the game themselves.\n\nThe Game - The player for that day does not know how much is in their box.  The board shows the amounts of money in play.  They are 1p, 10p, 50p, £1, £5, £10, £50, £100, £250, £500, £750, £1000, £3000, £5000, £10000, £15000, £20000, £35000, £50000, £75000, £100000, and £250000.\nThe player chooses boxes one at a time, and their values are eliminated from the game board to show the possible amounts available still to win.\nAfter 5 boxes, the phone will ring and the banker will offer an amount of money based on the possibilities still remaining.  Following this, the banker will make an offer after every 3 boxes have been chosen.\nAfter each offer, the player must decide whether to accept this offer, or eliminate more boxes in the hope that he will knock out the low amounts, and therefore generate a higher offer from the banker.  Ideally, he will have the £250000 in from of him, meaning it cannot be eliminated, and will generate a high offer to the end of the game.\nThe question "Deal Or No Deal" is asked each time, hence the title of the show.\nIf the player accepts the offer at any time, that is the amount they go home with.  The game is then played to it's conclusion to see how much they would have won if they had carried on to the end.  The offers continue to be made by the banker as if the player had not made a deal at an earlier time.

A good place to start is the link below - I will try and explain it using a 2-horse example.\n\nSuppose you have 2 horses in a race, and the best (fixed) odds you can find for these horses are $2 and $2.50 respectively.\n\nFirstly we get the inverse of both odds.\n\nSo:\n1 / 2 = 0.5\n1 / 2.5 = 0.4\n\nNext we take the sum of these inverses:\n\n0.5 + 0.4 = 0.9 - call this number "s".  If "s" is less than 1, then there is an opportunity to lock in a guaranteed profit\n\nTo work out how much of your balance you should bet on each horse, take the inverse of the odds for a particular horse, and divide it by "s".\n\nSo for the first horse, the amount of your bank you should bet is:\n\n0.5 / 0.9 = 0.555555, or 55.5556%\n\nAnd for the second horse the amount is:\n\n0.4 / 0.9 = 0.444444 or 44.44444%\n\nSo if you had $100 to wager on this race, you would put $55.56 on horse 1 (the horse with odds of $2), and $44.44 on horse 2 (the horse with odds of $2.50.\n\nNo matter which horse won, you would be guaranteed a return of $111.11, so a profit on your $100 bet of $11.11\n\nThis works no matter how many horses are in a race - just expand the calculations to include all the horses, and make sure that "s" is less than 1.\n\nHope this helped.\n\nAlso, have a read of the link provided.

Heed the advice of "marnefirstinfantry" as it is very sound, and very true.  I apply my own rule of thumb with regards to success in any venture ... and it's not something I came up with on my own, but learned from those far more succesful than I've been in handicapping, in business and in life. I call it the 97% - 3% Rule, which in my observations has borne out to a greater than lessor extent, as I do believe approximately 3% of the MOST SUCCESSFUL persons in any venture, control approximately 97% of the assets in that venture ... which leaves  97% of the participants to split up the remaining 3% of the assets in that venture. \n\nSo, translating this to winning at handicapping would seem to indicate you've got your work cut out for you.   I know of no simple, fast and easy "SYSTEM" that consistently beats the ponies. What I've heard and observed from those that are successful at handicapping the horses, is that you've got to do your homework: study the Racing Form, Learn all you can about CLASS, PACE/ SPEED, TRAINERS & THEIR TRAINING METHODS, JOCKEYS, THE TRACK or TRACKS you'll be frequenting. And still  you might be a consistent loser if you're weak in one or more areas of handicapping. The "PROS" I've known treat their handicapping like a JOB!  And you've got to show up, and you've got to put in your 8 hours!!! Learn to watch each race closely for horses in trouble or who showed  good effort but maybe are still coming up to their best race.\n\nALSO, GET INFORMATION: Read Steve Davidowitz's and Andrew Beyer's books ... these are two Harvard graduates who claim to have "earned" their way through college by beating the ponies.  There are plenty of other books that will shed light on the game ... but, again, it's like a job to be a consistent winner ... So while you're "attending school" do a lot of "testing" before you plunge in with your wallet open ... when you've gained some consistency with your "play dough" then perhaps you can set a budget that is realistically comfortable for you, and play in earnest (money management is probably one of most overlooked aspects of the handicapping game, but it is critical to have any success).  Oh! and while  you're "in school" enjoy the classroom and your fellow students, there's a whole lot of fun to be had just being in the environment!  All I can say is, I've joined a whole lotta students, screaming our lungs out as the horses entered the stretch and "MY" longshot is in front by a length and  a half and I've got all of $2 bet on the nose.\n\nGood luck, have fun, and always use good judgement!

1/ 31 means the horse came in first at its last run and third at its second to last run. 20 means it came tenth or worst at its last run and second at its second to last run. F means the horse fell.\n2/ the higher the form rating, the better the horse.\n3/ s.p. is starting price, the price the horse will pay when the gates open.\n4/ C/SP is chance against starting price. If you think the horse has a 50% chance of winning, then that converts to $2.00. 100/50 = 2. If you can get a better price than $2.00, eg $2.30 then make the bet.\n5/ This just tells you where the favorite placed in that particular race

Although after the fact, the simple fact of the matter is the the race is not the race it used to be.  Unless the groung comes up heavy, the winner will be no greater than 25/1 ever again.  This narrows the field down to about 10 runners.  Using odds management it is, therefore possible to back all these runners and make a guaranteed profit of 10%

Normally the owner of the horse will prearrange the amount they give you and as far as winning the person above me has it covered really well.\n\nHope this Helps!

point determined i'm hoping. but Lawyer ron & brother derek are currently the highest rated 3 yr olds in the derby so far. Barbaro is good as well, but his 5 month layoff is very unappealing to many people which is probably why he's not given the respect/attention he deserves. First Samurai is actually out of the derby & even if he were still in, i look at him as more of a sprinter. i don't think he should be stretched to over a mile or so. But point determined is improving by leaps & bounds w/ each race. & since because he's a late bloomer he hasn't quite hit his best stride yet, which will hopefully happen at the derby w/ a win. plus he has the perfect racing style for the race. it's a risk, but i'll go for it. :)
