If you're handicap strictly off of TG numbers, and I understand this is a TG board, then 11-1 may have been short.
Not everyone playing uses TG data, and TG data isn't the only data used to win at this game.
Also, how many times does the fastest horse, or best pattern, not win?? It isn't an exact science.
Odds and probability. Some people thought 11-1 was a fair price. Because you didn't think that way, doesn't mean that those that cashed were wrong or betting an underlay.
As for value, its laughable that you can criticize someone for playing a 11-1 shot. I've seen people on this board do cart wheels over horses that pay single digits.
Value is whatever someone perceives it is. You might play a horse you think is value, and another may think you're nuts. Its all relative.
I'm not returning that exacta money, doesn't matter who thinks it was "poor value".
P-Dub
