    Sportbooks that offer bets on horses NOT TO WIN Kentucky Derby
    I am looking for ways to get down bets on this weekend's Kentucky Derby for a particular horse to not win. I know Matchbook would have this once they put the market up. I am looking for alternatives in case there are not enough offers up at Matchbook. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

      Thanks for the info, Wheell Unfortunately I have no access to Pinnacle. Any other outs available to US based players?

          Yes, 5D has done this on previous Derbies. I expect they'll have win/won't win odds again this year.

              The not win odds started to pop up on 5Dimes today. Not win odds for horses with odds +1000 or longer are -99999.

                That does suck. Perhaps they'll put up actual don't win odds tomorrow.

                  Also be careful of the fine prints: some books have "NO REFUNDS ON NON RUNNERS", and 5D has "any nonrunner is no action". I will probably wait until Saturday morning to lock in the bets. Who knows what can happen to the horse overnight.

                    "I want revenge" fits this case exactly.

                      His bets were refunded. Win/Don't Win Odds are contingent on the horse actually running. As such, the bets have to be reimbursed. Future bets to win are a different story. If deemed "action" all non-runners lose. Sadly, I see a lot of top books keep scratched horses listed so as to attract uninformed bettors. Quality Road is a great example; Books continued to steal money on this scratched competitor long after the fact.
