Not true in general.
Barbaro paid $40.20 in Pool 1 (vs $14.20 at the track)
Funny Cide $188 (vs $27.60)
Monarchos $36.60 (vs $23)
FuPeg $27.80 (vs $6.60)
Smarty Jones, Charismatic and War Emblem were part of the Field. Only Giacomo paid less as an individual entry in Pool 1 than on race day.
To dismiss a parimutual future pool out of hand is a mistake, IMO.
