Is it worth betting a 1/9 shot ?

[Open bridle]

Just watched a 1/9 just get beat in the 4th at the Meadows. 13k was bet in the win pool.

[Bernie Madoff]

Sure. Just keep firing.

Horse had nothing, couldn't even keep up.
No, 1/9 isn't worth betting, imo

BET AGAINST!!!!  Make a small or minimal wager if you think he is beatable!  If not, wait until the next one!

Never ever worth netting a 1-9   unless its a souvenir 2 dollar ticket

Do the math.  Bet 20 to win at 1/9 ... Do it and win nine times in a row ... Youre up 18 bucks.  Now you lose the next one.  So you won 9 out of 10 races and you are down 2 bucks. Waste of time and effort. 

[Fuguzzi]

Very well explained!

Dave Little said a 1/9 horse can sometimes be great value

Maybe if he is part of a pick 5 with 3 bombs

Dave Little is a human disaster , btw

He is the worst, his logic makes no sense.

Sometimes you don't have a choice when the odds don't change to 1/9 until the race is off.  Like this one did.

Most of those handicappers know as much as you and I. They are there for show and entertainment.

[PucksnHorses]

Then they should have a hot dog eating contest, I am sure he would be very entertaining then.

two things

1. A huge win bet was made very late as he was 3-5 going to the gate
2. Had Arron Merriman up vs a hopped up burkester

Maybe his sugar was low!
