I haven't done the detailed research yet to see when they switched
over, but it is my understanding that they are now reporting Tris
against a $1 base.
For simplicity, let's say there's a 25% takeout.
If gross (bet) pool size is $2400, takeout is $600, Net pool is
$1800.
Now, here's where the fun comes in. If there were only a SINGLE 50-cent ticket, it would win the whole pool and pay $1800. But, it would be REPORTED as $3600, to conform to the $1 base. Yes, that's more than the original pool, but it's a lie.Tix Payoff 1($) $1800 2 $900 3 $600 4 $450 5 $360 6 $300 (and so forth)
