So for example, if the morning line for a race is:

#1 - 5/2
#2 - 7/2
#3 - 12/1
#4 - 12/1
#5 - 9/2
#6 - 3/1
#7 - 15/1

Then the roulette groups would be something like:

Red - #1, #5
Black - #2, #6
Green - #3, #4, #7

Won't be a perfect science, and once money starts coming in and odds change, the groups will get totally skewed. Probably some value to be found by a smart bettor, just a question of whether there's enough liquidity to care. Think it's just TSG tracks and maybe XpressBet that will be wagering to start, with the other ADWs and totes taking a wait-and-see approach.

They have a similar bet in Hong Kong.
