So I just hit for 11k on the tri box, got lucky. My bookie not covering (online site). Nothing in rules, but now saying only will be a certain amount for every dollar. I’ve been a long time lurker here. Just curious if people had any experience with this... any suggestions. Only getting 225/ $1 $1350 total. Just venting and pissed. Losing 10k- Thanks for listening

QThanks Yonk, makes sense. Makes me feel a little better that it’s common practice for some of these off shore sites. I got lucky and should be happy w anything, but the extra 10k would have been nice. —- I’d prefer not to say site. It’s just a no name site that’s used. Was just concerned the guy who runs it was trying to hold some profits. I may move on and will be happy to let u know once I get the rest of funds. Hope you all had a profitable weekend ??

Wow, that is a tough way to learn the rules. I'm the type that reads all the rules before I play. I can tell you exactly how a show bet is paid out at the track, for example. (I can tell you a helluva story about a show bet if you want to hear it).
They stiff you like that on the off shore boats here, but if a friend wants to go to the casino, then at least I can play the horses, because I won't touch the casino games. I just don't go for tris or supers or big pick 3's.
You might get a fair trade-off with the kick back from some of those sites. If you just like to play big money to win, then you might get 2 or 3% back or something like that. It might be better for that guy, I guess.
I use DRF when I can't get to the dog track, and they pay track odds on everything about 10 seconds after the race is official. The kickback is free on-line Racing Forms, which is a nice perk to me.
Considering how many different ways that race could have ended with the mess leaving the turn and the DQ and the horses who lost their best chance (and nearly their lives!), I'd just be happy to cash that ticket and bank the lesson for next time.

The only thing it says in racebook rules is “odds are predetermined by the agent” that’s apparently what they’re using to short pay me. It is what it is. Thanks for all the comments
