Probables
Shows the current probable payoffs for exacta's or daily doubles, if applicable. For example, if you want to see what an exacta of number 5 onto 2 is paying, simply look at the vertical column and find the 5. You then match it up with the 2 on the horizontal column to see the probable price. Note: The probable price indicates what the payoff would be if the race went off at that point in time. Until the pools officially close, odds change all the time, so this is just an indicator of what type of prices to expect and not an official price.
