Your way of looking at it is interesting, especially if a sizable number are still ahead at the end of the Contest. But if the Group above breakeven is truly more than what would happen at a typical track, the group BELOW breakeven must be doing far worse than your typical track bettors. Otherwise the combined fig (-20%) wouldn't be so bad.

Again, at this point it's too soon to get excited one way or another.

did you take into account all the "no bets"?

and the fact that'd i'd never, ever bet across the board in real life.

if i had made 3 actual bets, my return would be -$6.00, not +$0.40.
