I guess you could use some education on parimutuel wagering- it's EXTREMELY important in the payoffs... i'd suggest reading Steve Crist's new book Exotic Wagering, it'll give you some insight on how significant beating the post time favorite is in each flavor of wager.

It wouldn't hurt me to read that either... I need all of the help I can get!

It's a great book, I highly recommend it!!

and of course, Crist is probably the best writer out there so it's a fun and entertaining read as well as tutorial.
