My only point(s) regarding the odds I posted were that LAWYER RON was nice at 7-2 and GRASSHOPPER looked real nice at 25-1. I will add that they certainly do not focus on racing which is why there are some horses that are retired and such that have not been removed from the board as of yet. But along that same line of thinking, that would be why IMO there are overlays available. |
Good description of wsex.com. Before the 2007 Ky Derby, their future odds were embarrassingly bad. But with the 2007 Derby futures, wsex was actually competitive with odds from Pinnacle, TheGreek, etc.
I'm not too excited by 7-2 on Lawyer Ron. Right off the bat you have to allow for the chance he will not make the race. I'd put that at 33%. Then the 7-2 becomes 67%*3.5= 2.3 to 1. With the 3 or 4 top 3-yr-olds heading to the race, I don't think an effective 2.3-1 is enough.
