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? |
the guy doesn't really have to do to much cancelling. at the end of the betting cycle you have conditional wagers that come in, pool analysis, and batch bettors step up to the plate. when all of them kick in you get big moves.
in retrospect, you have to not only be a good handicapper, but you must also have a real good ability to guess what will happen with odds after the race has been run. if you are able to make that parlay you can win millions at this game every year that the game keeps going.
