I saw Futures odds for the Breeders Cup about 6 weeks ago from the Wynn, and they weren't anything like these.
At the time, Rags to Riches was 4-1 to win the Distaff (this was prior to the Belmont).
The odds were all ridiculously bad.

Why would you expect future odds at Wynn to be the same as at the Hilton? Especially when taken 6 weeks apart! Even on the same day, each racebook will generally have a unique set of future odds.

World Sports Exchange is the only offshore sportsbook I can find with BC future odds. They are notoriously un-competitive with what TheGreek and Pinnacle offer once those books put up future odds. The Hilton's odds dominate World's odds, but even World offers a few prices that are better than the Hilton's right now. For instance, if you like Dream Rush in the Distaff, you can get 18-1 at World vs 15-1 at Hilton. If you think Lava Man will make the trip to Monmouth and win the Classic, you can get 35-1 at World instead of 20-1 at Hilton.

On the other hand, if you like Buzzard's Bay, you're better off with the 40-1 at Hilton than the 30-1 at World.

I agree with you that one would be hard-pressed to find good bets from these future odds.
