I see tonights Quaddie at Melton is listed as paying $107,265.90c
But I also see that the Quaddie pool was $76,255.21c
Is a unit a $1 ? and nobody has had a full unit? and some of it will jackpot?
Or am I getting it all wrong
(can tell I do not bet much nowadays)
I'm sure some of the sharper punters will correct me if I'm wrong Kev, $1.00 = 1 Unit. I think that your on the right path but if you have multiple selections your unit would be worth a lot less. I'm taking a stab in the dark and I think that if you had 4 selections in each leg of the Quaddie for $1.00, Your winning 1st leg would only have 25 cents carrying over to the next leg etc. I think it's best to leave it to Breno, Brent or Ash to confirm or correct this. I'm still a little old school with a lot of the betting exotic's and had a crack at the Quaddie a few weeks ago and after getting the first 2 legs, The Third leg narrowly missed and the 4th leg got up, A fair bit of fun to be had with this type of betting.
I was a keen Quaddie punter in my day (we will not say when LOL) but there was no such thing as taking a % of the bet. If you had 4x4x4x4 that was 256 combos at 50c a unit = $128.
Now I expect the unit is a $1 or maybe they just give the divvies for a $1 outlay.
The way I figure it
If it is still a 50c unit somebody got the Quaddie about 1.4 times (or a couple of people.....)
If a unit is $1 then nobody had a whole unit on it as the divvie is bigger than the pool and therefore some of it must be a jackpot
Breno, Brent or Ash (younguns are probably out on the town - that is old speak for clubbing or .....?)
Amazing that there was a little more than a unit on the Melton Race 7 Trifecta which paid $20,075.00 (with a pool of $22,978.16)
Odds of $61.30 - $58.80 - $57.40 for the placegetters and you would almost expect a jackpot
The First Four had a pool of $13,576.50 but $9,439.31 of it jackpoted
Does this jackpot into the very next race because I noticed Race 8 had an unbelievable First Four pool of $55k!
The dividend is calculated on a $1- bet. The good old days of speaking in 'units' is gone unfortunately.....the flexi option has taken all thinking (that was once paramount when betting) out of the equation.Quote:

If some really longshots come up and only one punter had the right combo but had only taken 10% of say a FxFxF, they surely only get 10% of pool and 90% jackpots. Is that correct?
Spot on.
