Well, in that case, I definitely change my mind.

It's must be nice to know things 100%.

Considering that 23% of the money in the Future Wager pool was bet on "All others", you could have bet on every listed horse and guaranteed yourself a nice profit. In other words, the money on "All others" more than offset the 16% takeout. You should have borrowed all the money you could so that you could have had your sure 7% profit in 3 months. That's what I would have done if I was 100% sure of making 7% on my money in 3 months.
