The lower the odds, the less you will lose. I has stood the test of time.

Here is an image that shows odds ranges and ROIs from all races run in 2022. < 1 means all odds 0.05 to 0.99, < 2 means 1.00 to 1.99, and so on. The little uptick from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 surprised me, probably a CRW thing if I had to guess. But the rest is pretty normal and has been for a long time.

There are paradoxes in most gambling ventures and this is one of them - the low-odds horses have the highest ROI (if you bet every horse in every race without any handicapping) but if you're picking and choosing what to bet, you actually have a better chance of a higher ROI betting 6-1 or over.

I've read all your posts in this thread so far, and you have not come close to 1 cent yet. I'd wager you will never hit 1 cents worth in my lifetime. But it is funny to watch a genuine nitwit in action. Usually, we have to go to OT to see such chest pounding and knuckle dragging!

Just to be a contrarian, I'll go for 20 bucks on delfman. Make it happen on a split livestream. Dave knows how to do that. I'm kind of sick of all the bs political streams online.

That is undoubtedly the lower the odds, the higher the win percentage. I don't even need to run a query for that.

Assume $2 bets, then do the math.
Thus...
19,933 x $2 = $39,866
$net = $1.63 x 19933 = $32,491

Why would I waste my time like that?
How about we play golf for $500?
Oh, wait. I don't play golf.
How about we break boards for $500?
I can do that.
(Still.)

You have a better chance of formula 2002 betting real money on his exactas then having this head-to-head contest happen!
