If I was TVG, I'd give the hosts a $250 bankroll and force players to "deduct" horses from the structure to fit their bankroll. 1) It would allow the hosts to look past the obvious 2) It would generate more winning tickets
I just have NEVER understood the idea that an expert should "tout" obvious horses. You have the program for that.

I'm pretty sure that the whole point is to create enough winning tickets to suck people into making more risky tickets on their own. It's a pretty standard tactic. They aren't trying to help, they are trying to reel people in, and the best way is to do that is by building confidence with easy wins from cheap tickets, and favorites do win more often than long shots.
Besides, the majority of posters on this site ridicule people for not betting 3/5 favorites, so it's pretty much black pots and black kettles...
