1 to 9 odds? you spend 9 dollars and the horse wins and you get all of $1 in winnings? holy sh!t.

Why would anyone bother betting on the favorite. The payouts would be so diluted it wouldn't be worth it.

i thought it was opposite...it obviously wouldnt be the first time ive been wrong. the odds on favorite pays little while the underdogs offer huge payouts.

but granted, i know nothing about betting on the ponies.

IF 100 people bet $100 each on SJ, and he loses, while 1 person bets $100 on a 50-1 underdog that wins, there's plenty of money to pay the winner, plus a nice profit for the sports book. The more people bet on the fav drops the payout, while increasing the underdogs payout.

Ummmm.....yeah!

He's taking all the money so that means bet against him BIG TIME!!!!!

put him in a tri or super.

But if you want any money you'll keep him out of your other bets. He's a great horse and I hope he wins it.

But I'm in it for the money and the only bets he'll be in are my tri's and supers.

<---plays the ponies WAY too much.

Who is the the horse expected to come in 2nd?

Smarty has now been claimed by Philly. It is guaranteed that he will lose. You can bank on it. Bet on the expected runner up!!

Definitely. The Eagles blew it the last 3 years (?), the Flyers blew it, St. Joseph's blew it... I don't think a Philadelphia sports team has won a major sport championship since the 70s. Nothing good can come out of that city.

I don't see anyway smarty could actually lose this race. But then again the belmont has stopped many before him.

[DaiShan]

so sad, thought he had it coming into the last turn there.
