 50 years ago, the mighty secretariat won as the favorite in the Kentucky Derby, returning $5 for every $2 bet to win or sportsbook odds of plus $150, not bad on the greatest force of all time. Over that 50-year span, consider these $2 bet returns. The average win payoff since 1973 is $21. The biggest single-win payoff during that time occurred last year when Rich Strike returned $163.90. The longest stretch of consecutive winning favorites was six in a row from 2013 to 2018, but the average payoff was still nearly $9 or plus $350 in sportsbook odds. Whether a favorite or a long shot, the Kentucky Derby offers better outstanding value when they find the winner, making it a can't miss wagering opportunity.
