like the old saying goes "value is in the eye of the beholder"

Leaving aside the authenticity of the poster for now, let's examine the content, which does not improve with further viewings.
Despite having read pertinent Forums extensively I have yet to come across a credible account of anyone currently profiting well from Australian Trifectas on galloping at the official 21% rake.
Certainly I'll be very happy for anyone to step forward and enlighten me.
Programs to automatically predict and wager Exotics have been publicly available over a decade ago. The dumb money gets well and truly swamped by the leviathan money. Consequently the apparent Overs routinely get crushed in to negative expectations.
Anyone skilfull enough to play Trifectas should also be smart enough to ignore them and instead play whatever has the lowest rakes.
