next race his 8-1 ML is now at 2-1 race 10 #10Irad taking Virginia like Robert E Lee
Milligan's losing streak continues.
Pikachu, at odds of 5/1, was squeezed back at the start and never threatened.
Next.
Two months before the COVID lockdown of 2020, Parx actually cut its notoriously high takeout – but not on everything. Just on trifecta and superfecta bets, lowering the juice from 30 to 25 percent. Pick 3s and Pick 4s had their takeout cut – or trimmed – from 26 to 25 percent.At one time, racetracks in Pennsylvania charged a 30% tax on trifecta and superfecta wagers.
Tsk tsk.
Maybe a bad morning line at 10-1?I've noticed the same thing.
My experience: A favorite whose odds drift up in the final minute of wagering is far more likely to lose than a favorite whose odds dip in the final minute of wagering is likely to win.
The first race at Hawthorne yesterday highlights one of the real problems with the game today.
The winner of the race was listed at odds of 10/1 on the morning line, held at odds of 9/2 as the horses entered the starting gate and dropped to odds of 8/5 as the horses raced into the first turn.
The batch bettors were able to press one button and clobber this horse in all the pools (win, exacta, trifecta, daily double and Pick 5).
Looked like $8,000 of the final $16,000 in the win pool landed on the "good thing" named Magic Solution.
Horse won going away by more than nine lengths in frontrunning fashion.
Some wagering group made a decent score in the Hawthorne opener and hid their intent until after the gates opened.
Bad for the game.
Maybe a bad morning line at 10-1?
A possibility but that wasn't my point, BLUE.
The last flash, after the gates opened, revealed an inordinate amount of money bet on a horse held at 9/2 odds seconds before post time.
How did Nitrobetting fair with their rebates? You know more about it than I do.Two months before the COVID lockdown of 2020, Parx actually cut its notoriously high takeout – but not on everything. Just on trifecta and superfecta bets, lowering the juice from 30 to 25 percent. Pick 3s and Pick 4s had their takeout cut – or trimmed – from 26 to 25 percent.
Parx takeout held steady at 17 percent on win, place and show wagers and 20 percent on exactas and rolling doubles. Those rates are not awful when weighed against the industry curve. But the industry curve remains much worse than the long established 9 percent for a wager against the spread on a football game.
i dont know how that went and I did not use them for horses.How did Nitrobetting fair with their rebates? You know more about it than I do.
Can Bulldog Hanover pace fastest mile ever Sunday at The Red Mile?
(on July 16), he broke the threshold: a 1:45.4 mile, a time never registered by a Standardbred.
Ed Burgart was back on the mike tonight at Los Alamitos as a replacement for vacationing Michael Wrona.
Burgart sounded good tonight (no surprise) and he'll be back again Sunday night.
The 34-month layoff was no problem for Burgart.
I used to chuckle watching Burgart park at the motel across the street from Santa Anita
to avoid the parking fee.
Need a winner in the Melbourne Cup today….who has one?
Thanks…will take a lookTRYTRYTRY likes Without A Fight at odds of 11/1.
flightline
he will be an almost hard to believe 1/2 in a really good field
outside chance even lower 2/5 one of those.
esp now in Kentucky no dime breakage so you get the real after track take out value on those low end payouts $2.80 is now maybe $2.88 $2.40 could be $2.44 etc etc .
There will be a PLACE overlay flightline however dont play to win in this case. win and place will be the same.
its for all pools but I mean getting $20.08 instead of the old $20.00 is not a % differenet matters like getting now $2.28 instead of the old $2..20Excellent point.
Penny breakage in Kentucky, love it.
WPS pools now, how about the same breakage rules with the exotics?
