The number that matters most is the last one

We will not take this horse shorter than 11/2. That is the point at which the price stops paying for the risk, and it is the only number here that still works if you disagree with us. Pick your own horse, work out the probability you would give it, and the same arithmetic tells you when to pass. A selection is an opinion. A minimum price is a method.
