Odds of a Horse Winning the Triple Crown in 2012
Carrie Stroup here with a quickie on the odds of a horse winning the Triple Crown in 2012.
Those odds at Sportsbook were 7/1 coming into the Kentucky Derby. They’ll still be available afterwards but might be cut somewhat depending on which horse wins and how dramatic that win will be.
The “No” requires a $10 bet to win $1 (the $10 is of course refunded in the event there is not a Triple Crown). You can wager $100 to win $10.
That may be worth it.
There have only been 11 Triple Crowns with the last one being in 1978. Amazingly, there was a Triple Crown the year before and in 1973. That was the decade of Seattle Slew, Affirmed and Secretariat.
