Will Pays versus Actual Pays (368 Views)

In the late Pick 5 at Belmont today the Will Pays for the winning combination were saying that the payout would be $1106 for 50 cents. The actual payout was $755.25. There were no late scratches nor any non-staters nor surface switches. It was the favorite and there had been a scratch in the last leg that was declared after the first leg, so there should have been some money from that horse, but could that be enough to make such a big swing in the payoff? The horse that was scratched was 6-1 ML.
