Note that Bodog's line on whether Big Brown will race again after the Belmont is about +-300. That's saying there's just a 25% chance he will race again. I think they've got that about right.

Interesting. What happens if BB wins by 5.5 lengths? I think Bodog accidentally gave itself some extra edge there.

God/Jesus ` 10/1
Horse – Big Brown 3/1
Family or Family Member 6/5
Owner – IEAH Stables or partnership member 8/1
Trainer – Rick Dutrow 9/2
Fans/General Public 5/1
That one cracked me up. If it were Pat Day, "God/Jesus" would be 1/1.

Dunbar, I would actually take that 10/1 for like $25, there is a good chance he does that hilarious crap right afterwards, especially if he wins

Below you will find the easiest 10-1 money on the face of earth. Every friggin athlete thanks God first, and it is so old to hear as well in my opinion. God is a big part but did not ride the horse, put the tires on, steer the car, make the shot, pass the ball, catch the touchdown pass etc etc.. You did. God gave you the gift and you used it. Off my soap box.

God gave you fingers so that you could mute the TV too.

More like 1/20 - and it would probably offer value at five cents on the dollar.
