Total pool allocation would seem to be a better indicator than a partial pool represented by willpays. this can be done with any horizontal bet putting daylight on the blind pools.

Don't exaggerate, Andy, as getting willpays and deciphering odds is hardly "jumping through hoops."
Once again, as we have discussed this before, I agree we should at least tell people horses implied odds based on willpays. However, that doesn't mean people can't do it themselves. Let's be honest....we all do, and have done, far more complicated things.
Despite a prevailing opinion on here, I don't run NYRA. I don't work in technology there either. I can only occasionally offer opinions. Keeping those to a minimum is the best way in life to be effective.
