We blame CAWs but sharps tossed Taj mostly that I saw. @derby1592@CraigMilkowski picked NS on SOK pod, and @HorseToWatch and @DRF_Beer both made cases for winner, and @andyserling picked, maybe it wasn't CAWs as these are the most popular public shows?

If you didnβt have Napoleon Solo, you lost.
If you did, you still lost.
If you thought you were getting $1,000 on your $100 win bet, you should have been pissed to pick the right horse and lose $300.
Horse racing is hilarious. For years said takeout doesn't matter. Los Al QH tonight runs a SIMPLE new promo. 10K seeded pool for non c/o Sunday Pick 6 and got record pool. Then the late Pick 4 went north of 150K. #IAmHorseRacing
@Pullthepocket Nobody who can do price discovery ever complains, they just bet. The problem is there's less and less dumb retail money, not too much sharp money.
@DJPRUETT70 App looks like my daughter coded it, but no app is saving horse racing anyway and that ain't his fault. And tracks rather cater to volume, so maybe there's a way to bridge the gap for retail vs CAW but most don't have time, patience, or knowledge to try
The bettors have been saying what @KennyMcPeek recently said about the horse racing industry as a whole for a long time, but we're just idiot moron bettors. I call it the totem pole effect, worried more about top vs bottom than the necessity to stand together.
What's the precedent for a fighter saying he let his injured opponent win bc he felt mercy? I'd start with banned from sanctioned betting events @CirclesOffHQ#CircleBack
"Price Distortion" they are calling it.....which they are currently defining as any sudden, massive move caused by a group rather than "organic" flow.
Price Distortion = Price Discovery, and without it, markets don't exist
To give you an idea how much action comes in on these all-chalk ML Parlays...
There is more cash on Houston ML parlays than straights on A&M spread + Houston spread + A&M ML + Houston ML + Over + Under COMBINED.
There is 20.4 times more cash on Illinois ML parlays than straights on Illinois ML and VCU ML COMBINED
@RufusPeabody All 4 #1 Seeds to Reach Final 4
My model has 8.7%. I'm using path probability, projecting spreads using my ratings. +1050 is my Fair Price, you can get better than that on Kalshi currently
For anyone who wants to ruin the fun of #MarchMadness with math, see below.
My model projects 7.82 higher seeds winning in round of 64. The Kalshi market sits at pick em for 7, and -239 for 6+ is value.
All 4 1 seeds, this is interesting, I've heard projections anywhere from 2% to 20% (Sorry @RufusPeabody I know it was an on the fly live pod math guess)
Historically the number is 4.8%
All 4 1 seeds to make Sweet 16 I make -230
All 4 1 seeds to make Elite 8 I make +195
