| The Japan Racing Association supplies bracket quinellas and quinellas. Repdigit-type bracket quinellas and their corresponding quinellas lead to the same winning probabilities, with both types of quinellas operating separately under a pari-mutuel system. However, the actual odds for these quinellas are different. Empirical testing suggests that there is no possibility for arbitrage between these tickets and that the repdigit-type bracket quinella exhibits a stronger favorite–longshot bias than the quinella. This implies that the favorite–longshot bias is not arbitraged across the separately operated pari-mutuel system and is always stronger for bracket-type quinellas than quinellas. |
