Michael,
>understanding the winners chance in a horse race is a good thing. thinking that horse is not a good bet at 4-1, while the public knows he is a strong fav at 1-1 (and the horse wins), is a bad thing. <
I'll grant you this much.
If I dislike a horse, the public loves him, I can't understand why, and then he wins for fun, I will sometimes re-examine the race to see if there's something I missed or can learn.
But generally at this stage, I know why I dislike him. I know why the public loves him, and I know why I think the public is wrong.
So I don't care if he happens to win. They are still wrong for overbetting him relative to his chances.
