The nine slot didn't help, nor did the fact that the true sharps identified that he had no business being a 2.5-1 favorite.
The scalp was still there. +250 was readily avialable all day (but I will admit the line tanked in the last 2 hours.....smart money).
But all those laying -3 at plus money could easily have played back +3 lenghts also at plus money and made some good coin.
In retrospect, the "spread lengths betting" carried the substantial scalp......
Maybe I exagerated the opportunity but any shopper still should have at least broken even, and I imagine 95% profited.

Actually using $200 as a base bet betting SJ at -280 you would win $71.43 if he wins. At the track SJ went of at $.35 to one or $2.70 for a $2.00 bet and you would have won $70 if he wins. So the -280 was just a little bit better than track odds. Not to say that either was a good bet but the -280 was better than the track by a bit.
