trifecta results show how much more common 8/12/456 is, over 8/5/1234
Jim,
I don't know how how reached that conclusion, but it's wrong. In general, when 8 wins in a 7 pt game, the exacta breakdown in percents is:
81 14.7
82 14.7
83 17.5
84 19.5
85 17.4
86 11.3
87 4.8
Based on that, wouldn't you expect that the top 'good' tri's for 85 and especially 84 would be a little better than 8/12/456?? In fact, both 8/4/123 and 8/5/123 come out on top by about 20%.
