Prior to the Kentucky Derby, you are typically required to lay about $1000 to win $100 on a “no” bet that there will be a Triple Crown Winner. Now that Justify has won the Kentucky Derby, there are only two legs left and the odds have shifted.

The mainstream media is already touting Justify as the next one that might be able to win the Triple Crown. The media is again going crazy talking about the possibility of the second Triple Crown winner since 1978. It seems so inevitable! So should you bet Justify to win the Triple Crown?


Let’s look at the current odds:

Will there be a Triple Crown Winner in 2018?
Yes +130
No -180
