If you are throwing a Derby Party*, or any horse racing based fundraiser or event where you want to accept bets and calculate winners, this is the App to use. Download common race data with horses and odds from the Internet, or enter your own race. Specify an optional house cut for a fundraiser or to cover your party. Add or modify horses and their odds, or mark a horse as scratched. Add or import bettors with an optional email address for distributing a payout summary. Bet types supported are: Win, Place, Show, Across the Board, Exacta, Trifecta, Exacta Boxed and Trifecta Boxed. Once the race has completed, enter the race results and calculate your payouts. The payout summary will specify all winning bettors with their payouts, as well as any fundraising house cut. Keep the calculations and data entry as simple as possible, and enjoy your Derby Party!
Whether the horse race is in New York, California, Kentucky, England, France or Australia this App can help manage the data and calculations associated with the hypothetical betting pool so you can enjoy the party more.

I have hosted many triple crown gatherings and took win place and show bets using a pad and pencil. It all worked out but it took some time after the race to provide the results. I was at a family event on Saturday and was asked to run a Preakness pool. Knowing the group would be large I looked into using an app. I downloaded the full version of Derby Party and could not have been more pleased. Not only were the results instantaneous but the record keeping was great. Every bettor's information was available and the results were broken down for each winner. Triple wagering with or without a box became the most bet wager. The only thing I would possibly add would be an odds page reflecting the way the group is betting. All in all a great program.
Love this App for a Derby Party

Excellent, easy to use app for running betting at a Derby Party. Used it last year, and already set it up for this year. Reeeally easy. I don’t know why people complain about importing — it only took me 10 mins to put in 21 horses and odds. Advice: Use daytime brightness on your iPad. Once it switches to nighttime and black background, it uses white lettering on white fields. Easily fixed by toggling back to daytime in your settings.Enhancement idea: I’d love to be able to do parimutuel betting calculations — where odds are determined by the bets — e.g. for a golf shootout, or a simulated horse race where all odds are equal going in.

This app is really easy to use and makes your Derby Party so much fun. It can handle any type of betting and the payout is so easy - even if their is a House Take. I called the developer last year to get some help - mostly I was in fear there wouldn't be a 2016 version - but there was - its just not until after Wednesday when the field is determined. I highly recommend this app.
Great App for Derby Party Bet Pool

Derby Parties are so fun, and this App makes it really simple to enter hundreds of bets for dozens of guests, and then calculate the winners. The calculation gets really complicated with hundreds of Win, Place, Show, Across the Board, Exacta and Trifecta bets for differing amounts. This simplifies it all!
