Wetten auf hohe Favoriten

Explanation:
Wurde neugierung und habe mal gegoogelt. Da ich von Pferden wenig Ahnung habe, habe ich erst mal bei Big Brother nachgelesen (Link 1).

Beim Wetten auf hohe (scheint überlicher zu sein als "klare", Link 2) Favoriten sind die Quoten meist miserabel, aber das Risiko auch entsprechend geringer. Wahrscheinlich setzen in der aktuellen Wirtschaftslage weniger Spieler auf Risiko (obwohl den wahren Spieler die Wirtschaft wahrscheinlich ziemlich egal ist...).
