Betting on the
Kentucky Derby: Payouts can be lucrative
So many people were
betting on the Kentucky Derby because payouts can be
super rewarding with a very minimal risk. Even
the favorites paid no less than 4 to 1 odds prior to
post time.
But many horse experts
pointed to some other contenders with even greater
payout odds.
Steppenwolfer served
as the perfect example and managed to finish an
impressive third in the race. This horse was a
favorite among many of the experts Sports911.com has
spoken with. Considered an impressive closer
and a horse that has shown vast improvement over
recent weeks, Steppenwolfer would have paid out more than
$30,000 for every $100 bet at many online race
books early on. He was the "Wise guy's" favorite,
which helped to bring his odds to 14 to 1.
BlueGrass Cat would
have paid $30,000 for every $100 bet and finished
second.
In the end, it was
Barbaro who won. He was the favorite entering
the race before having his odds pushed down by
Sweetnorthernsaint. Barbaro finished paying
out 5 to 1 odds or $5 for every $1 bet, which is
still pretty lucrative.
