After reading RQ's post, I thought it might be interesting to post the post time odds on each of the players so you can calculate your will pays as we go into the second day of the BC races. Here they are:
1. Ruffian: ML 3-1 Off Odds: 99-1
2. DonGuido: ML 3-1 Off Odds: 9-1
3. JolyB: ML 4-1 Off Odds: 8-1
4. Real Quiet: ML 9-2 Off Odds: 5-2
5. Cruzan 200246: ML 6-1 Off Odds: 5-1
6. ryonker: ML 6-1 Off Odds: 12-1
7. Criminal Type: ML 8-1 Off Odds: 5-1
8. Arletta: ML 8-1 Off Odds: 17-1
9. GotaDunQH: ML 9-1 Off Odds: 36-1
10. dapplehorse: ML 12-1 Off Odds: 13-1
At this time, GotaDunQH is a fantastic value for that player astute enough to bet on her.
A couple of explanations. First, the odds have been set forth the way you would see them on a tote board, so some rounding and truncating has occurred. The actual payoffs will generally be a bit larger because this pool will have no takeout and no breakage.
. Second, the odds may seem very strange, but that can happen when you have a small pool. I hindsight, someone should have bet a couple of bucks on Ruff; they could have scooped the entire pool. Hey DonG - this is a fun game you created.
