But if CDI wants to cling to the hackneyed tote excuse, as an alternative, take Steve Crist's suggestion and allow for exacta wagering to spice this tired thing up.

that would be nice, but what if you bet a 9 / 15 exacta and the 15 is scratched? |

![]() I can tell you this much, I'm going to Vegas this weekend and wouldn't mind finding some horses to throw a few bucks on and I'll carry my ass to Wynn to do it. A Derby Future Wager with 24 betting interests is a joke.
Something has to be done to spice it up, just as Steve said. NT |

If you want to see the most updated odds go to Dave Tuley's viewfromvegas.com and on the main racebook notes page he should have a link to the lucky's and Wynn odds. NT |

![]() The only 'technical issue' I see in my proposal is listing the willpays before the pool closes- and early on in the betting there will be some odd results with $0 wagered on most of the interests- because most tracks don't have the capability of displaying trifecta willpays. However, with a competent linemaker estimating probables it wouldn't be an issue because whether a name closes at 100-1 or 125-1 isn't a huge deal to 99% of players this would attract.
What they could do as an alternative to showing every name on a rolling basis is show the top 25 or so that have taken the most money and odds on those.

![]() How is it possible that CD's system cannot accommodate wagering on individual horses up to any reasonable number. It can accommodate wagering on all possible superfecta and high 5 wagers in the 20-horse Kentucky Derby field. The Vegas system isn't pari-mutuel, so that's comparing apples and oranges, but there is no excuse for the failure to provide more than 24 separate interests.
