To be fair, I think he was alluding to more of a PEDS situation, then a straight up fix.
I hope to hell, that shoe doesn't drop in the near future.
Hell, 80-1 was probably optimistic odds, considering the situation. Only reason it was likely that low, was because there's always going to be some action on the longest shots in a race like that, from bettors looking to hit Lotto.
