Break it down -
Numbers and odds players are not fans of the sport
vs
Cappers and the like who are fans of the sport
meaning -
Guys and gals who wait until a couple minutes to post and then play their numbers
versus
Cappers
no form versus a form in hand
I gotta believe the pool numbers would weigh heavily towards Cappers versus number and odds players
The funny flip side of my post is this - I am equally a fan of this sport as well as a bettor and I have found over the last couple of years I gamble a lot less when on track at a nice place like Churchill, Saratoga, Keeneland etc then I do when betting from an otb or dump like Beulah when I lived there.
Guess I am talking out of both sides of my mouth but I gotta believe the total numbers in the pool are heavily favored towards the Cappers, especially on weekends at the good meets versus the dumps and numbers players who fill the pools at tracks like Beulah and Mountaineer.
