pay outs for pick3

[gezzy]

I'm about to start playing the Ga. pick3, and I'm still curious to what the payout would be when I hit. play straight/box. i guess what's confusing me is the identical numbers. please help me to understand?

3.Way.Box.........|............3|....333.33|...160|.........480|....48.00%
6.Way.Box.........|............6|....166.67|....80|.........480|....48.00%
3.Way.Straight/Box|............3|....333.33|330/80|.........490|....49.00%
6.Way.Straight/Box|............6|....166.67|290/40|.........490|....49.00%

Straight refers to a triple - all 3 numbers the same - or betting a number to hit in a particular order.

A 3 way box refers to the three permutations that can occur when a selection has two identical digits - 112, 989, 377, etc. The three-way straight/box is a split bet with an additional payout should the number hit with the digits in the order the bettor has selected.

A 6 way box refers to the six permutations that can occur when all three digits in a selection are different, such as 123, 456, 789, etc. A six-way straight/box is a split bet with an additional payout should the number hit with the digits in the order the bettor has selected.
