TRIPLE CROWN ODDS

May 2009

Each year for the past 31 years, excitement builds after the running of the Kentucky Derby, and Odds are set on whether or not their will be a Triple Crown winner. This year is no exception. Currently the Odds on whether or not Mine that Bird will win the Triple Crown are 13/1. Or you can bet the field, and bet against their being a Triple Crown winner, in which case you would have to LAY 21/1 odds

You can find these Triple Crown odds, and other proposition bets related to the Preakness and Belmont at various sportsbooks including Betjamaica and Sportsbook.com.

Every year race fans get their hopes up. Every year since 1978 they have been disappointed. Past history suggests that this is not a good wager to make. If you made this wager every year for the past 30 years, you would be 0-30. Sure, eventually, some day, there will be another Triple Crown Winner. Maybe this year.

It won't be easy though. There's a good reason it hasn't been done on 30 years. This is no sure thing. There are too many variables to overcome. 3 races in 5 weeks. The longest distance they'll ever run. Fresh challengers.
