watch for #9 in R9 at Gulfstream. 4-1 M/L. 2nd in last race, won 2 previous races. 1st time at GP i think. lezcano on board. should run well.

And nice call on audible!

What kind of rigged bs odds was Gulfstream offering in the Holy Bull?

Three 3-1s and a 9-5, in addition to the odds on the rest of the field. That's well more than 1.

Jesus Christ 3 years and you still don't know what the fuck parimutuel is?

And you still don't understand the mathematics of odds. With parimutuel the sum of the odds should still be close to 1 or 100%. That did not happen yesterday.

Because the sum of the odds exceeded 100%, the track is skimming off the win pool.

Huh? Of course they are. That's how they make their money. It's called takeout.

Here is a chart that shows you the takeout for each pool at each track. You can see where you are getting the most bang for your buck:

Walt is an old school guy who attempts to pick winners rather than evaluate chances. For someone like myself who makes his own line and will not bet unless I get what I consider value+, the takeout doesn't really matter practically except that obviously a higher takeout will naturally result in me making less bets. Beyond that, I prefer to play tracks that aren't trying to gouge the shit out of me.

Anyway, does anyone think the Kentucky Derby winner ran yesterday?
