Can someone help me reeal quick please??

I have to leave in about a half hour. but someone wants to place a bet with me for $100 on big brown to win.

i dont really know horse racing odds, im currenty trying to figure out what odds to give him as I am taking the action regardless cause it probably isnt a good play coming from him.

I see ML 2/5 on Bodog for big brown. Is this to win the race? Meaning 250/100 for big brown to win correct?

thanks for the help

That's $2.80 to win on a $2 bet.

Give him the final track odds....which should be lower that $2.80

Take his money and bet it with the books at $2.80

Wait. so am I getting good odds or not.

I am risking about 35 to win 100 on BB not win WIN.

is this what I should be getting? I am not trying to completely dick him on odds, cause he usually losing bettor anyway.

But I dont want to short myself
