Pinnacle has put up a Derby future odds line. Its odds come pretty close to matching CD's 16% takeout. But with help from TheGreek and 5Dimes, the combined line has a takeout of 8.1%:
1 W.Side Bernie 52.5 Greek
2 Musket Man 28.5 Greek
3 Mr Hot Stuff 40.19 Pinnacle
4 Advice 40.5 Greek
5 Hold Me Back 28.27 Pinnacle
6 Friesan Fire 6.21 Pinnacle
7 Papa Clem 20.5 Greek
8 Mine That Bird 200 Pinnacle
9 Join in the Dance 111.86 Pinnacle
10 Regal Ransom 19.61 Pinnacle
11 Choc Candy 20.46 Pinnacle
12 Gen Quarters 28.15 Pinnacle
13 I Want Revenge 3.25 5Dimes
14 Atomic Rain 102.5 Greek
15 Dunkirk 5.45 Greek
16 POTN 6.21 Pinnacle
17 SummerBird 55 5Dimes
18 NowhereHide 200 Pinnacle
19 Desert Party 17.92 Pinnacle
20 Fly Private 100 5Dimes
fwiw, TheGreek has IWR at 3-1; Pinnacle has 2.7-1.
Pinnacle has the best odds on 11 horses, TheGreek on 6 horses, and 5Dimes on 3. Neither wsex nor Bookmaker have future odds (wsex has a lot of matchups, though). I didn't check any other books for futures.
