Well, it's way too early to draw any conclusions. I only posted the 20% fig because I thought it was mildly interesting. I'll keep tabs on that stat as the contest progresses.

Your way of looking at it is interesting, especially if a sizable number are still ahead at the end of the Contest. But if the Group above breakeven is truly more than what would happen at a typical track, the group BELOW breakeven must be doing far worse than your typical track bettors. Otherwise the combined fig (-20%) wouldn't be so bad.

Again, at this point it's too soon to get excited one way or another.
