bet that way and one losing fave will wipe out the 'little' profit. way to go out on a limb saying all the faves will win. ah, such bravery. such guts. such....

It is only idiocy if they don't win. Trying to beat favorites for the sake of beating a favorite is idiocy. Often favorites are beatable, today they aren't.

Show me someone who has made a profit in the year betting nothing but favorites, it's impossible. See if you knew ANYTHING about stuff like this you would get it, but I guess big bro forgot to tell you about it, he was too busy framing his pictures with all of the horses you guys LOVE to tout Mr. Agenda.
I don't bet all favorites. I handicapped the card and the favorites in every race today are where the value is. Every single race.

Yeah, sure.

And the Yankees are still going to win easily last night.

You sound stupider as time goes on.

It's impressive.

DaHoss,
Don't feed him.
Let's see what his chalks pay IF they all come in.
I won't tell him who is beatable. More for us.
Those that look for little profit often times don't find it...but hey, good luck with that.

I'm with ya DaHoss. There will be plenty like Nos betting today like they think they have the "key"...bet all chalk.
I have no problem taking their "safe" money.
Good luck!
