May 03, 2019 Example Bet: $2 Exacta Bet on Horses 12 & 4. That means you are betting $2 that horses 12 and 4 will finish first and second in consecutive order. Variant #1: Exacta Box Betting. Bovada Welcomes USA Customers Bet Now An Exacta Box bet is picking the top two horses finishing in ANY order. You can see that a 2/1 (blue col on the left) is the low recommended “on-top” horse odds, and 6/5 is the low recommended “on-bottom” horse odds. Exacta combinations including horses at odds lower than that are almost always under-laid and pay off less than fair. These payouts should be considered the minimum acceptable. The Fair Payoff for an Exacta equals the size of the bet, such as a $2 Exacta, multiplied by the (win horse's odds-to-1) multiplied by the (place horse's odds-to-1 plus 1). The odds are each.

Introduction

Keno Exacta is a keno game I noticed at the Orleans on April 20, 2012. It pays if two consecutive keno games have the same number of catches, and are withing a specified range of catches. For example, if the player purchased two consecutive eight-spot games, and caught five numbers on both of them, then the 25¢ Exacta bet would be $490.

Rules

1. To bet the Exacta the player must first bet two games for $1 each. These two games will pay according to the standard Orleans pay table.
2. At the time of purchase, the player may bet an extra 25¢ to qualify for extra wins for an Exacta.
3. If both games have the same number of catches, above a certain number, then the Exacta bet will win.

The following is the base game pay table.

Exacta Odds Kentucky Derby 2020

The probability of hitting the $1,000,000 jackpot on the pick 9 Exacta are 1 in 1,906,298,378,741. Nevada Gaming Control Board regulation 2.070 bears quoting at this moment. '2.070 Jackpot Odds. If the odds of hitting any advertised jackpot that is offered by a gaming device exceeds 100 million to one, the odds of the advertised jackpot must be prominently displayed on the award glass or video display.'

However, I don't think this regulation applies, because this is not based on an electronic game.

Combined Odds

The following table shows the expected return of the base game and Exacta according to the number of picks. The weighted return is a weighted average of 8 parts base game and 1 part Exacta.

Strategy

If the player is going to play a pick 1 to 10 game at the $1 rate at the Orleans anyway, he should also bet the Exacta, which returns between 93% and 100% of the Exacta wager, which is good for live keno. Considering both bets combined, the best bet is on the pick 4, with a weighted return of 80.86%.
