What is the point of picking all these favorites all the time? Unless you are betting $500 bucks on them, there is no value! That 1 horse in the second race is going to be 2-5 and the 5/6 in the 1st race are both close to the favorites too. I understand a winner is a winner but why do this bet that will cost $12 when if you hit it you will win MAYBE $20 bucks? If this comes out 6-1-2 you will probably win about $8 bucks.
Please do not get me wrong I am not saying a winner isnt a winner and I am NOT trying to just be a ****. I just do not understand the thinking here. If you looked at Leftys pick 3 yesterday he keyed the chalk in the first and then all in the second leg and 3 decent shots in the 3rd - and he hit it and made over $200.
One thing about horse racing if you are going to bet the chalk you are going to lose. The only thing to do if you are going to bet the chalk is put him on top of the long shots in the race for exactas. Then you can catch some good prices with bigger fields.
Yesterday I took Leftys 8 horse in race 1 and I handicapped the race and loved the 3 horse 18-1 to one, so I did $4 exacta or $6 I dont remember - either way for 2 bucks I took the 8 horse at 8-5 and hit the exacta that paid $126 for $2 bucks.
That is worth it. sorry for the long response but I just cannot understand what the point is betting/posting the odds on favorite that to be honest, doesnt really come out that often. Only on early races,
