Default Churchill O/U Bet- interesting observation

Through two days of the meet, the "under" has won 14 of the 18 times this wager has been offered at a return of $3.09 for each $2 invested. The "over" is an almost hard to believe 2 for 18 with a return of $.36 on each $2, and the "on" (probably the worst possible bet ever) has won 2 of 18 for a return of $1.31.

Something to consider going forward- perhaps the points they have set for the o/u numbers are too high and bettors haven't caught on yet.

I was looking at it as well. It's really an interesting bet as you are capping the entire market. I did notice the pools were dismally low - $300 -$400 on once race where show pool was $8K.

Also, noticed everything goes haywire when they have a late scratch, in fact, they changed the par value and then cancelled the bet on one race.
