Big Brown turned out to be a real sucker bet as Crazyl and others correctly pointed out beforehand. The winner went off at 38-1, but you could have had him at much higher fixed odds at some books. On Saturday, I shopped three books and made six $20 bets at fixed odds on six different horses--all 50-150% better than the odds at Belmont. Five lost, and my winner was at 95-1....more than double the track odds.
I'm Hogalishious! Ok, I can't do the Dodif strut, but my point is that if you shop for +Ev prices, it'll eventually pay off.
