True story.
I knew a guy that used to bet 2K a pop fairly routinely when he came to the OTB in my old neighborhood. He would bet that way right into the smallest pools for the day. His horses would always open up as heavy favorites. Then he used to complain to me that all his horses were going off short even though they were a good price in the morning line.
I tried to explain to him that he was knocking the horses down by betting so much at very small tracks, but it didn't sink in. Finally, I gave up. I started asking him which horses he was going to bet because there almost had to be overlays elsewhere in those races.
