2008 Preakness Odds

Post positions were announced for this weekend's Preakness Stakes and so too were the odds.  Big Brown will be starting from the number 7 position as the big favorite and the winner of the 2008 Kentucky Derby - the most inquired about betting event of the year based on Gambling911.com stats.

Only Behindatthebar pays close to single digit odds and the actual payout would be $1000 for every $100 bet if he were to win the 2008 Preakness Stakes.

Big Brown requires $400 to win $100 (get the initial $400 back only if he wins).  See Odds Here
