Belmont Stakes Wagering - Icabad Crane Terrific Overlay at 50 to 1

[Shame About Ray]

The 50 to 1 Belmont Stakes betting odds on Icabad Crane that the BetUS online racebook is currently offering are absolutely stupendous. 50 to 1 horse race betting odds on almost any horse are great, but this one boggles my mind.

If this were an allowance race instead of the 2008 Belmont Stakes - - yes, I know that it is not - - then getting 50 to 1 on the third place finisher in the Preakness Stakes is terrific value. That’s true even if Big Brown is the next coming of Secretariat.

I, of course, have my doubts about Big Brown which is another reason why the BetUS online future book odds of 50 to 1 on Icabad Crane are so enticing.

Why does Icabad Crane appear to be a terrific wager at 50 to 1? There are lots of reasons. Some of those reasons have nothing to do with him and everything to do with his competition. But most of the reasons fall squarely onto the horse’s shoulders.
