Re: Giacomo?
If you buy every possible $2 superfecta in a 20-horse field, it should cost:
$2 * 20 * 19 * 18 * 17 = $100k, give or take a few thou.
So it seems to me, if you have a crapload of money, this isn't a horrible bet... if a long longshot wins once in 15 years, you break even-ish. The only time you lose is when the favorites all come through?
Am I missing something or do others agree with this analysis?
BTW, I got raped this year's derby. WTF is this 50:1 longshot [censored].
