Default dirty move

It seems like if you were in a handicapping contest with a substantial prize to be awarded, this type of thing would be against the rules. The way I see it, if you're a participant in the contest, you're trying to make the best selections based on what the betting public gives you. For some reason, in my mind I've always pictured those in the handicapping contest excluded from the betting public making their picks that way. I think rigging the odds in small pools should be against the rules of any handicapping contest because it gives the guy with deep pockets an unfair advantage in the contest. When, in actuality, the winner should be determined by the person that has the best picks.

So, I vote dirty move.

Again, guys there are no tournaments where your picks are public knowledge. Further, the tracks chosen for the major ones have big time pools....
