There was a thread, probably 3 or 4 years ago that dealt with something like this. The gist of it was it was better finacially to just put your horse over the favorite than bet the horse to place.

It was " under " the favorite...not over.

I realize you know why, but for those that don't, it's just takeout dispersion.

My bad, that was what I meant. That's what I get for trying to do more than one thing at a time.

Since I didn't post here back then I read this thread. It was very interesting and I think makes clear that on BC days you should never even place a win bet.
