where's the guy that's always yappin' about how this can be a smart play whenever someone backs a dump truck of money into the show pool and wins?

"you can make a guaranteed 5% in less then 2 minutes."

can we continue that debate?

You miss the point if you think this is an example of the type of race that makes sense to bridge jump on. An AOC at Laurel park in the middle of november with a short horse?

Of course the other opportunities where a bridge jump makes sense go unmentioned.

You guys win.

i doubt it.

so long as every example that falls outside of a win is dismissed as not meeting some ill defined nebulous "standard" you can't really lose the argument, can you?

No, you are correct. i said every time a horse is odds on, it is wise to bridge jump on it regardless of race conditions.

Again, you guys win.

this is how that usually goes, there was a guy doing monster show bets at crc a few months back. first you win a few in a row then you lose one and think its a fluke, then you win a couple more before you then lose for the second time, then you kill yourself
