a win is a win is a win, but the price is mind numbing..
And this kind of thing ends up being one of the problems when one studies handicapping using past results, on paper. The Charts don't tell you what the odds were 2 minutes before post, yet that is when you have to bet.

Don't forget to remember, though, when your horse goes up in odds after you bet. That happens, too!
