I was responding to Dilanesp...who had suggested that not all 3/5 shots are bad bets...and that "betting on a 3/5 shot is the same as betting on a 10/1 shot".

I would never consider betting on a 3/5 shot to win...but some people are different. They actually think that there is value to be found in all odds groups...and who am I to disagree with them...especially when we are all entitled to our opinions?

Is there value to be found in a 3/5 shot? I suppose...if a Secretariat or a Zenyatta were to make a return appearance -- but that's not how I like to play this game.
