This argument is what has led me back to being a dominantly exotics bettor. The fluctuation is not as great as to effect your bottomline. There is plenty of fluctuation but going from 8-1 to 7-1 isn't as detrimental as 7/2 to 2-1. Playing at those narrow edges any expected bad run or a series of these bet drops and your profit gets watered down quickly. I had a recent bad run and my ROI dropped 14%. If you are a good win bettor and say you have a 30% ROI and it drops down to 16% you are back into the land of hard earned mediocrity. Been here plenty myself. If your ROI is double, triple, or even quadruple that, a 14% drop doesn't make you sweat. And that is possible if you choose your bets and they pay say 6-1 or better or you don't play. The quest for true odds is futile IMO. Seek better returns period.
