Why not? According to you, this horse is unbeatable right? So betting him is just like picking up free money! Who cares about odds if you are betting on an unbeatable horse?
Or wait a second....is it possible that he actually is beatable?

Don't waste your time trying to figure out his thinking. I mean he should be betting every dime he has on this horse to win if he really thinks the horse is unbeatable.
Calling any horse "unbeatable" is idiotic.
Calling a horse that has already been beaten "unbeatable" is just funny....and still idiotic.

This from the guy that said Stormello had "zero" chance....c'mon, people, just let it die. It's not worth the time it takes to type a reply (and to read the ridiculousness). Just let him gloat if/when the favorite wins.

We all know that these 3 yr olds are rapidly improving and should continue to do so. The fact of the matter is, there are probably 2 or 3 horses in the field that could beat Nobiz given the right trip and some improvement off their last race.

You're right. As soon as someone says a horse has "zero chance", I should put that person on my block list.

I think these "zero chance" comments hit you like nails on a chalkboard.

Jim, that's a pretty accurate comparison!

usually i am not a big fan of using the word "unbeatable" but in the competition for most useless poster on this board, i think you may in fact be "unbeatable" kid.

You may even get Dunbar to agree with you on that point!

Why is Drums of Thunder way over-hyped and NoBiz unbeatable, when Drums Of Thunder was within 1.5 lengths of him last month? Do you know how easy it is to have the result change by a merely 1.5 lengths?
