How do you get "actual real time odds" when the odds shift even after the gate opens? To the extent the odds are in flux until at least the first call, your making your bets on an estimate of the final odds. Granted your likely to have more accurate odds if you bet at the last possible minute, but betting in advance has it's balancing aspects. Sometime the odds will be lower than your estimate & sometimes higher & in the long run probably balance out.
The morning line is flawed to one degree or another & is more or less accurate at different tracks. I'm sure if the young man gives it his best shot, he will find something that works.
