Illustrative inputs. Results depend on the assumptions shown.

Multiply selections across races

A ticket with two choices in the first leg, three in the second, one in the third and four in the last contains 24 combinations. At a $0.50 base, its cost is $12.

A single keeps one choice in a leg

Using one horse in a leg contributes a factor of one. Adding another selection in any leg expands the ticket, even when the selections in other races stay unchanged.

The tool counts cost, not a pool dividend

Pick and place-pool products have different settlement, minimum-stake and scratch rules. This tool only counts combinations at the entered base. It does not predict a payout or apply automatic substitutes.

Placepot, Quadpot and 20-cent Pick 6 costs

A Placepot ticket selects horses to place in six races; a Quadpot uses four races. For cost counting, both multiply the number of choices in each leg, just like a multi-race Pick ticket. They have different winning conditions and pool rules.

For selections 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2 in six legs, there are 24 combinations. At a 20-cent Pick 6 base the cost is $4.80; at 50 cents it is $12. A four-leg ticket with 2, 3, 1, 4 also has 24 combinations. Enter the actual base and verify permitted units with the product.

These are multi-race horse-racing tickets. Pick 4 number lotteries have different rules; do not interpret the selections-per-race fields as digit-position lottery payouts.

A tote pool combines stakes for the same product and distributes the payable pool among winning units after its stated deductions. The number of combinations determines your ticket cost, while the official dividend determines return per winning unit. Use the official-dividend calculation to scale that return; no fixed payout follows from ticket count alone.
