All the "sports bettors" that are going to wager on horse racing when it becomes legal.

Don't you mean it the other way around? :)

Typical horse player mentality would be to think that the later I bet, the more it improves my chances.

:lol:

It only improves your chances if you have a way to improve your selections late.

At this point it might be more fair if nobody knew the odds until pools were closed.

IMO...the average horseplayer would benefit greatly if he waited until the last seconds to place his bets. He would save a ton of money by repeatedly getting shut out of the wagering.

You are correct, I was Posting Under The Influence again.;)

And if you did not catch the 11th at GP today you missed a easy one that paid 4-1. It ended up taking 16% of the last dump.

This one was as bad as I've seen in a while, and of course the horse won.

I don't have the pp's for that , but the horse was 15-1 on the ML , won last, and was ridden by an Ortiz.

Clearly , some serious steam there.

But plenty of those lose, just never get mentioned. So it leaves the impression that big betdowns are locks.

Some big bettors find out that the horse is 110% and they send it in. Just a matter of how much they want to crush their own odds.

That’s not steam. That’s Ortiz’s uncle paying for his new BMW. . .:)

Could be, I know I was born into the wrong family, no jockeys.

Took 43.4 percent of the money from when they put the 1st horse in the gate. Or 7/5.

we live in a capitalistic country. if you don't like the rules that the racing authorities want to offer, don't accept them. move on caveat emptor.

And posters here claim its not a problem and that they can predict it........

Im so glad to be back on Betfair.

Sadly, many people have moved on.

Great attitude that has served the industry so well.
