They lose money on EACH of those races, and the amount they lose is bigger than the profit they made on that 1 race in 20.
The money they make on the "other horses" isn't enough to wash away the loss from the bridgejumper.
Also, bridgejumping *IS* a long-term loser for the tracks (and their simulcast outlets).
I'm too tired for logic, but I'll be back for more later.

If you bet 2 dollars to show on a 2.10 horse, and you lose 1 out of 20, don't you break even?
If you make 10 cents twenty times, you double your two dollars and turn it into 4. If you lose one out of 20, you're back to square one. Nobody goes 20 for 20, they lose at least 1, maybe 2.
