Agreed with regards to the Magna 5. I haven't played it this year due to exactly what you mentioned. It is for the whales.
I don't think the other tracks that have a carryover on the P4 give out a conso for 3 outa 4.. This is just a guess.
I kinda like MCL25k races to use in horizontal wagers. Thats where the value is. True you need deeper pockets, but doesn't it make sense to put more into the P4 and less into the previous races.
So, lets use the number 200 as a bankroll. instead of playing 30,30,30,30,80 throughout the day in pick3's and then the pick 4. I suggest playing 20,20,20,20 in pick 3's and 120 in the pick 4. - better yet.. if there were 2 pick 4's i'd just as soon make them my only two plays

I try not to spread so much, as you suggest in your examples. it depends how i feel about the sequences, like I said. I have tracked my p3/p4 play and I am trying to not waste as much chasing loose plays and look for more plays where I have a stronger opinion. In cutting back on the p4, i have instead tried to play both p3s and find i hit more of those without hitting the p4 if i had played that. Try doing it on paper and see how you'd make out. BTW, have you tracked your p3 and P4 play ?
I just wish they would institute 10 cent supers like santa anita. I have fun with those and have a pretty good ROI, but they leave those for the deep pockets crowd. I am a Steve Crist fan and I favor lowering the playing field , so that more players can afford the bet and to get around the IRS tax, much like the 50 cent trifecta . The tax laws are archaic and need to be changed, but the racing institutions seem little concerned about this area, though as Crist points out, they would benefit tremendously by tax law changes for thier customers. Ah well .................
