I was in Remington Park for horse racing

[arie1985]

Was there with wife and kids, on Race #6 I placed $25 on horse #2 and $25 on horse #3 ($50 in total), horse #3 won the race.

When I gave the winning ticket to the cashier I got $50 back only, I asked her why it shows "Win $4.00" so she said it's $4.00 per every $2 you risk ... does it make any sense?!

I see on their site:

https://www.remingtonpark.com/basic-...0Show%20payout.

If you bet $2 to WIN on the #4 horse, you collect $8.60.

Anyone knows how much bookies were offering on it?

[Optional]

If you had bet it at Bet365, you would have received $62.50 back.

I agree it's weird and confusing how US totes quote returns per $2 staked btw. But maybe one of our local experts can explain why on earth they do that.

You bet 25.00 to win. Just win. The example they show is just an example. NOT the actual price of every 4 horse.

The highlighted area at the bottom explains across the board betting but the last sentence is not highlighted. It should be. It tells you it costs 3 times as much to bet across the board which is correct. In your case , 25 to win, and 25 more for place and 25 more for show.
The example probably should color the spot on the payouts board that would pay for each bet instead of putting in random amounts which probably confused you.

You were paid correctly. Shame the example confused you though. Kind of ruins the moment.
I see Opti’s pricing . Not sure what that’s all about. It might be the estimated program odds prior to the actual wagering which ultimately sets the payouts. If they are set odds, then that shop was offering 3-2 or 1 and 1/2 to 1, meaning, the horse would have paid 5.00 to win instead of 4.00 to win for every 2 dollar bet. In that case you would have collected 62.50.
Hope that helps.

there was late steam on the horse that won, so the track's final odds were a little lower than BetUS set odds.

Yep. Small pools, like this track are especially susceptible to favs or any horse I guess to getting pounded late.

Just doesn't take as much to push down the odds drastically.
