I'm trying to understand Why someone would ..... "

They should've realized that size of a bet into a $186 win pool would drive the odds to 1/9.
So, why would someone do this?
to submit a late cancel or partial because others would've bet on other horses or because other people would have hammered it further?
or, some other reason?
