It better be VERY VERY MAXIMUM leverage. Because those pools cost 7% more.
If you're skilled/lucky enough to find a true overlay I see absolutely no reason to complicate the matter by adding extra horses to the equation and paying an exorbitant price to do so.
Regarding the "excitement" factor. If not wanting to wait 30 minutes is a decision making factor. Please provide the addresses of those people. I'm happy to send a stretch limo for them to come to the races.
