I think it all depends on how you bet.
You can pick 1 horse to win... or you can pick the 1 and 2... 1, 2 and 3... or 1, 2, 3, and 4, obviously picking 4 is the hardest.

i think the more people that bet on a specific horse (smarty jones), will win less than betting on a lesser know horse?

Thats obvious.
I think... not sure... lets say the over/under is 3/1 and your horse wins, you get 3 times what you bet. So if you bet $50, you get $150. Not sure though.

the only worthwhile bets at this point are for trifecta (placing first three in order) and the other one for just choosing the first three horses in no particular order heh

you think they are gonna make it easy to win money? Might as well go for the powerball.
and the money you win is based on the odds...

you can also bet on how many lengths the horse will win by. last time i checked the paper, smarty by 10 lengths was 100/1 odds. now THAT'S chedda
