I am pretty sure that as this progresses most fixed odds wagering will be essentially sucker only betting. Anyone that shows any proficiency whatsoever will be severely limited in how much they can bet. Just think, all these juice jobs that look like 12-1 shots and win at 3-1 like they are 3/5 shots. How long will books take it in the chin giving 8-1 to 15-1 on these horses?
This will ultimately be a useless attempt at cross marketing sports bettors into horse racing. It only has appeal to long time horse players not to sports bettors who don't play or know the first thing about horse racing. Given what I said in the last paragraph, it will not be all that useful for long term horse players either. |
The evidence for how accurate muti-race wagering mirrors final odds is pretty cut and dried at least at major tracks. I could post race after race 20 minutes to post to prove that to you because clearly a lot of people out here have not taken the time to verify that claim. So unless you think those pools are way off what you're saying makes no sense at all. People keep bringing up this old casino that let people bet into the morning line or some such nonsense, that would not be long for this world. If that's what they plan to do here their line will need to have a 60% vig. I was hoping for this years Derby there would be some horse against horse action offered on-shore. That would be cool for starters.
