You can't get an exacta twice in the one race...thats a quinella.
I think a few people need to learn a bit more about the betting options and the way they work...not trying to be smart but unless you understand the mathamatics you are going nowhere
To work out cost of exacta in a 12 horse field with 3 selections you need to take one away from the total number of starters then multiply by the number if selections you have for first
example 12 horse field 3 selections
12-1=11x3=33 total $33 if the exacta pays $23 you lose $10
