Gameboy, good luck in your combo betting. One thing I do is that if I'm betting a doubles pick, I always play combo bet as opposed to straight/box. For the extra 50 cents you have all three combos covered straight. Chipp does that too.Good luck

Gameboy, if the above explanations are still confusing, then just write down all possible combinations of your 3 digits and ask for a straight bet on each of them. 50 cents, $1, or whatever you want to bet on your combinations. As Chipp said, the only difference in asking for a combo bet as opposed to 6 separate straight tickets is that the combo bet comes on one ticket instead of 6. If you are betting a 50 cent combo bet on 1-2-3 you are asking for a bet on 1-2-3, 1-3-2, 2-1-3, 2-3-1, 3-1-2,

Hi gameboyYou are correct on your first Question. Second question , The 6 .50 str's add up to $3 because they are played on a single ticket.Third question , Yes the combo bet covers your three numbers in str form just as you have shown them.Call it out to your agent as eve - pick 3 - .50 cent - combo - 123.If your agent has trouble [gas station] just slow it down and have them push the buttons as you call them out:Eve - pick 3 - .50 cent - combo - 123 - push send button.Good luck

gameboy, if what you are asking, a straight combo would cost you $3.00 a double straight would cost you $6.00. if you're asking about a boxed combo you could play for .50 or1.00, or for any amount , but on a boxed ccombo the payout would be significantely lower. i hope this helps you. good luck

Gameboy, here's how it works...If you are playing 3 different digits you would be playing a 6-way combo. You can bet .50 or $1. A .50 combo bet on 123 would cost $3 and you would win $250 if it comes in any order. A $1 combo bet would cost $6 and pay off $500.If you are playing doubles you would be playing a 3-way combo and a .50 bet would cost $1.50, a $1 bet would cost $3. The payoffs are the same as mentioned above...either $250 or $500.To put it simply a combo bet is a straight bet on al... [ More ]
