Triple Crown Bet?

[joeydb]

Hi guys, I live in PA so we only have traditional betting here -- no futures.

Do you guys know if Vegas has a bet simply on "Will there be a triple crown winner this year?" Not specific to any one horse, just a bet of whether it will happen.

It seems possible to me to book this kind of bet, in a similar way to betting "the over" or the coin toss on Super Bowl Sunday.

Of course, then the question arises as to what the fair odds on such a bet is.

I haven't heard of such a bet, although it's not a bad idea.

+1200 maybe?

I meant from their perspective...although -1000 levels it out a bit...pass

I Could all but guarantee a Triple crown if I bet the Don't.. Last time I laid odds was 7-1 when the Yanks were 3-0 vs the Redsox
