Cajun- I dont agree with your philosophy on odds. I agree with Blackthroat and Bold Ruler on this one. Even if you think Showing Up is a logical winner, you should very well care what the odds are. The higher the odds, means more profit if you are right, so you should increase your bet. If I liked Showing Up as much as Bold Ruler, I would bet a higher dollar amount at odds of 6/1 than I would if he was 2/1.
This is a crazy game and you need all the help you can get with odds. You need to take your heart and ego out of it when you are betting money. Too many things can go wrong in a horse race...
Just read some of the threads on this board lately, seems like almost every horse that doesnt win has some sort of an excuse.
