They should be.

Remember, "average" is -16%. If there's a standard deviation of 10%, then only 1 in 8 or so would be positive ROI.

Not if you live in NYS. It's a stupid and arcane rule that's stuck in legislature. Something to do with the OTB's back in the 70's.

The point is Monmouth should NEVER be beating Belmont. Last year on a similar day (July 3rd), both ran 10 races- Belmont did $10MM and Monmouth did $4.5MM. They weren't even in the same league....

I'm not going to get involved in this argument again, because there's people who just can't debate it civilly, but the correct total handle numbers for today were:
Hollywood... $9,312,290...

This is an overstatement... but not as much as one might think. I'd guess it's about 25-30%.

Because he's a genius.

Seriously... there is a 0% chance that Zenyatta ships to Saratoga. They've already pretty much committed to running at Del Mar.

So the "hopeless" extra horse(s) that you can throw out are all 400-1?

I'll ask you again because you didn't answer me before, if I gave you the option of 3 extra horses in a race, each 30-1, that...

I agree. Steve is a good friend, and I love the show, but clearly XM/Sirius has their heads up their asses. They probably lose my business after this. I'll listen to ATR on the Internet or replay.

You don't get it. Reducing takeout obviously has merit, but it isn't the only thing that is important. Unfortunately, a ton of the advantage to the player in a takeout reduction gets removed by...

It's one thing to have a 5 horse field of $15K N2L's and it's another when it's one of the two most important mile grass races in the country for F&M's. They put up $400k and a G1 and nobody showed...

I should say, 5 $.50 tickets ($2.50 total winning tickets.) No idea beyond that.

P.S. I like your handle name. ;) :ThmbUp:

Pick 4 is also 15%.

You are right though- it won't carry very often with the pool sizes being as big as they have been and a 50 cent minimum. Actually 5 people hit it on Monday for $35k apiece.
