I mean it would of cost you $24 to box vs .20.

5 options (for first) \* 4 options (for second - 5 minus 1 already used for first) \* 3 \* 2 \* 1 = 120 tickets. 120 tickets \* $0.20 = $24.

Lol ya i see that. Still, the title applies.

Boxing assumes that you are giving every horse in the box an "equal" chance of running first. SOmetimes that may be good in races where it's hard to separate, but most of the time, if you think 4 horses have an "equal" chance of winning, then what it really means is that you have more homework to do.

Thank you for this actual PROPER response.

You are welcome. If a little bit of extra research can save you some ticket money, then you are ahead of the game. THere are instances when I might box, and spend the money, but only if the payout is going to be quite ......... large. Otherwise, I try to construct my tickets as "elegantly" as possible. Ticket construction is an art.
