Betting to Show on all horses.

SA yesterday 1/16

91 entries = $182 bet to show
if you drop 1 entry per race = $162

show return = $152.60

6 post-time favorites hit the board
0 post-time longest-shot hit the board

I don't think you can develop a method that will be profitable.

Would have already been developed.

If you think the actual race is chaos, look at show payoffs. You never know when a decent show payoff will pop up, and win odds are zero predictor.

I always assumed this was true as well, but running a few look-backs at some actual cards was still fun.

Wasn't there an annoying poster here who insisted he could manipulate the show pools at will and turn a big profit (not bridge jumping)?

Nothing wrong with playing against the favorite in a short fields, but most tracks have discontinued those show pools.
