Default Future Odds

I think there is a time and place to use these.I don't particularly like to bet them a long way out(although Pinnacle has had "no run-no bet" odds for a week or now.)That is unusual to have 1 week out(no run-no bet.)Anyways,to me,the time to use these odds to bet with is when there is a dominant favorite that you think could get beat.Let's say you like the 2nd fav,and the 4th fav in a race.They are paying 5/1,and 14/1 some place where you could lose your money if they get scratched 2 or 3 days out("all bets have action".)The thing to remember is that the 4/5 or 3/2 favorite has got just as much shot of being scratched(due to injury) as your horses do.That could result in you having 2 of the favorites in a race (at odds of 5/1,and 14/1.) This is Something you will never get on the day of the race.
