New Jersey does not have a set payout for winning. Where most states offer $40 for a box, and $240 for a str8, NJ bases it's winning payout on how many people play, and how many people win (pari- mutuel). The pool starts out at $275 for a str8, $45.50 for a 6-way box, and $91.50 for a 3-way box, and is adjusted based on the pari-mutuel formula. While sometimes the payout could good, most times it's not at all. Look at the difference in the payout on the midday number compared to the evening number today:
03/01/2010
Evening
3 0 5
197.00
32.50
03/01/2010
Midday
9 3 4
321.00
53.50
What's even more alarming is the payout of the P4. Can you imagine just discovering you hit 1945 str8, you go to the website for the payout, and find THIS?!
01/25/2010
Midday
1 9 4 5
932.50
38.50

Evening

Calabs, thanks for providing such a clear cut explanation
of our wonderful payout method - By the way, I had 1945
box (didn't play it straight that day). While I'm grateful
for whatever I win, when I saw that $38.50 payout, my heart
sank - I was expecting at least $100 - should have known better!
Well, today is Tuesday....we'll see what happens! If they don't show, the % increases dramatically! LOL
Also don't forget the 765 and 517, as others also have. Still missing the digit 7, and v123 is due to show, which also opens up the door for 067 and 017.
Good luck today everyone, thanks for posting!

Hey All,
Gotta keep on keepin on...These numbers are exasperating!!! The even pairs out so long is an aberration, and we need to stay focused! I had the 305 tonight str8, ONLY because its my late father's birthday and its coming this weekend, or else I would be zipped!
all even with those pairs...826, 240, 428, 208
Good Luck!!
Alan
WTG, Ali - Nice call on 826 - Hope you caught it today
