Naturally the stats come into play to create a line/odds for the two teams and the ten runners.
It's "easier" to be wise in a two horse race than a 10 horse race hence I believe the poor bettors make it easier to win at horseracing than they do at sports for the bettors who REALLY study the form.
Hope what I am trying to say makes sense as a point of view albeit with my own twist to the two sports.

With the "chaos" involved in the 10-horse race, and the high parimutuel takeout that is exacted...isn't it possible that NO ONE can win without a substantial rebate? Is there proof out there to suggest that the non-rebated player can still beat this game?
