Preakness Stakes Payout Odds
Written May 14, 2009 by Jack Jones
Let’s take a look at the expected payouts based on the odds for the 2009 Preakness Stakes at Sportsbook.com. One thing that you should know about this book though before you do any betting this weekend, Sportsbook.com is offering a $1 Million prize as part of their Triple Crown Challenge. If you wager $5 on this Saturday’s Preakness race and correctly predict the finishing order of the top 10 horses then you’ll cash in on the jackpot. Obviously this isn’t an easy task to accomplish so that is why they are carrying it over to the Belmont if nobody hits it big this weekend.
Sportsbook.com also has a $10,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool available for those who wager on the triple crown races. Members are awarded points for every correct selection then make with the top five point earners cashing in on the prize money at the end of the Triple Crown events. It’s pretty easy to see why Sportsbook.com is one of the books we are recommending for betting on the horses this year. They have big prizes to win and treat their clients well. Now let’s take a look at the payouts on horses to win the 2009 Preakness Stakes:
Rachel Alexandra (+150) is the favorite. A $2 bet will only get you $3 in winnings. Mine that Bird and Pioneerof The Nile are next in line at +450, so a $2 wager will get you $9. Friesan Fire is at +650 with a $13 coming back on your $2 stake. Papa Clem’s odds are +800, so that’s a $16 return on your $2 investment. Both Big Drama and Musket Man are listed at +1000 so that’s $20 for a $2 bet. General Quarters odds are at +1500 so a $2 wager would bring in $30 for you. Now it’s time to look at the underdogs, with Take the Points (+2500), Tone it Down (+3000), Terrain (+3000), Flying Private (+4000), and Lov Gov (+4000) rounding out the field.
