Know exactly what a ticket costs before you get to the window. Pick the bet, enter your horses, and the cost updates as you type.
Cost = combinations × base bet. Check your track's minimum for each bet type — minimums vary by track and pool.
4 × 3 × 2 = 24 combos → $24
Any of your four horses can finish 1st-2nd-3rd in any order.
4 × 3 = 12 combos → $12
Your key horse must win; any two of the other four fill out 2nd and 3rd.
3 × 2 × 4 × 2 = 48 combos → $24
Multiply the horses in each leg, times the base.
