What's the expected handle on the future-exactas and what's your guess?

I'd like to see $250k.

I think it would take a miracle to reach $250k, considering there's only been about $15k so far.

My guess is $100,000-$120,000.

I agree. My guess is 120K.

Also, CD has taken the exacta odds off the live odds page.

Why would anyone in their right mind trust a "system" like that? Accepting bets they can't honour??? Isn't that close to money-laundering?

Huh? It's about as close to a fig newton as it is to money-laundering.

$104k, good call. I guess I was way too optimistic that it would be completely "new" money, figuring $350k in the win pool and maybe 75% of that in the exacta pool. I guess relatively speaking total handle between the two bets was decent at $380k which is up 20% from last year and in this economy that's like being up 100%!
