Nope fair dinkum. I was interested to see what it was paying... I assume it must be automatically calculated based on the win odds of the two horses... You would hope anyway...

Yes but when it came out at 60 cents the DH who put it up should have at least changed it to $1.40 - $1.60 to try and get some business.
These calculations obviously dont work on races where 2 runners are so well fancied / small fields. FFS check them before you put them up and make your company look like a mob of DH's. :oops: :oops:

Same with the $1 JC quinella! who in their right mind is going to take 'odds on' in a JC quinella let alone $1 :roll: .
