will have you end up in the negative in the long run.

Of course, a DD is a slightly higher risk but its payoffs is typically higher than a $10 win bet. You will need to compare your probale payoffs of your DD to your payoff on your win bet and determine if its worth the slightly higher risk. A determinate for me will be if the DD pays 1.5 times more than the win bet then its a go.

again there are many opinions, however he said two horses in one race, a 25% raw average in a 8 horse field, adding horses in another race he could still lose if he's wrong in the second half. he wants to take advantage of big win odds on 2 horses in one race. and ending up in the negative in the long run is just your opinion nothing more to back it up.let me add he wants to cash if one of the long odds comes in, if no win bet and dd pk3 doesn't work, he loses. a two horse win bet is the right bet in one race. if he wants to add dd then ok
