Now let's say I see him listed at 3-1 or 7/2 in the ML before I start handicapping. I think the natural inclination is to take a better look at that horse and perhaps even make a case for using him. I find that's true of live odds also. If I just start handicapping a race after the pools are opened, the live odds sometimes steer me where to focus my attention. That risks influencing my thinking.

I'm the opposite....
I like to see ML but not use it in my software outputs....
Then I have a good starting point to "value"
