No wonder your math and data awareness are so constantly under question.
The "favorite was 3-to-1"... and just what percentage of the total wagering is required to send a horse away at $3.10-to-1 ?
Even the clueless guy identified 42,000 (+) tickets 'alive'
before the last race (though he's sure they were all destined to win)(were it not for some longshot,
I'm guessing...).
Now how about you adopt some accurate data presentation and show the nice people some
reality for a pleasant switch?
And for heaven's sake, stop defending people who state that
the most improbable outcome occurs when the 3rd longest shot on the board wins, and that "pay(ing) off about 42,000 ticketholders" was ever a conscious
choice.
