Bizarre placement. Leave it to CDI to try and squeeze the lemon some more.

Better off waiting for the day of the race then to get suckered into this lousy wager.

If they wanted to really juice the lemon they would get over that HUGE technical hurdle of offering only 24 entries

That's too difficult for a publicly traded company that feels the need to charge you 150 bucks to walk in the door to bet money on Derby Day.

My money is on a company 3D printing a human liver for transplant before they solve the mystery of getting over the 24 entry ceiling on a derby future bet

But yet some twat was able to rig Breeders Cup Pick Six in what 2002? What a disgrace CD is

I'm confused....they couldn't wait until after both races were run ( there is Sunday racing, no? ) and they think a pool of 24 horses, along with a field slot, over five months before the Derby, is an inviting idea?

This whole thing, the bet itself and closing before the 2yo races are done, is one of the dumbest things I've seen in a long time. What is the field, 1 to 5?

Outside of the timing when the pool closes, which I haven't looked at, getting people to talk and think about your product that much earlier is never a bad thing. There is also a pretty direct correlation between Derby handle growth and the future wager going back to when it started.

In my opinion ultimately the whole future wager concept is less about revenue off the bet, which really isn't much, and more about the chatter and getting people to talk and think Derby.
