A few years ago when P4's were at a buck you hit 3 or 4 and were able to show a profit for the meet. That isnt happening anymore but I am in the minority in my feelings for the .50 P4 and dime supers.

You should use specific examples showing how the parlay is not matching the multi race payoffs. I had run these numbers in socal quite a few times and they almost always, minus strong odds on horses in the sequence, paying more than the parlay.

Also do think its a fair comparison to use in season perfect weather February Las Vegas to 110 degree middle of the off season summer? I would imagine its a rather consistent market trend in that weather climate.
