Good question.

For that race it came down to deciding how likely I felt I would win with those two horses.
I was confident and felt that I had about 65% chance of winning covered.

The final price that I got from final odds would break even if I win 56% of the time.
Meaning as long as my opinion of confidence is accurate and higher than the 56% price, I am getting a good opportunity.

If I can buy a gallon of gas and a good cup of coffee for under $3.50 I take it.
