Agreed. It's tough to see a way past these issues. How do you know the final odds well enough to weigh your wagers accordingly when all the money comes in in the final minute?
I know it's possible to tell to some extent from probable payoffs when a horse's odds will drop or rise near post time, but anyone who is good enough to predict the odds and (more importantly) also know which longshots will win is more gifted than 99.9% of us.
