![]() I like win bets and exacta bets. Plenty of value in these races.

![]() Why not just tell him to only make bets that win?

![]() Oh great. . . you're back.
These threads are so worthless every time someone starts one. I have no idea how this guy should bet the Breeders' Cup. All I can tell him is how I would bet it, but the way I bet it is based on the types of opinions that I formulate on my own. Saying that pk3s are good bets if the guy's opinion is that some longshot can get in the tri or whatever isn't going to do him any good. Look at the two posts before this - one praising the pk3 and one condemning it. They're both right, or both wrong. It's a good bet for some people, or for some opinions, but not others. No bet is better or worse than another without considering what is being bet. The tri is not inherently better or worse than the Pk3 when you don't know what numbers are going to fill either one. The win/place thing was just a shot at PG, who fails to understand why betting win/place is terrible despite my many attempts to explain it to him. |

My best suggestion is if you like a horse that is double digits, bet it to win/place and be happy with the result, or press it with an exacta. If it's less than 10-1 pick 3's (or even doubles) make sense.

![]() I recall reading somewhere that the P3's average in excess of 1K on a dollar ticket. How is that a bad bet?

![]() On this day or 2 days, its far and away the best bet. Its not even close. Chalk-Chalk-Chalk is an overlay most times because of the large fields and huge pools.

![]() The P6 averages six figures on a $2 ticket... it's all relative...

However, what I think you are getting at, would betting Zenyatta or Goldikova win PLUS place this year be a poor wager? Of course.

There was a thread, probably 3 or 4 years ago that dealt with something like this. The gist of it was it was better finacially to just put your horse under the favorite than bet the horse to place. Last edited by Dahoss : 10-26-2010 at 02:43 PM. |

![]() ![]() As usual 80% of my handle will be Win, Doubles, and exactas. Plenty of ![]() I'm am just not comfortable putting $100-200 into tri's,supers, and p3's on multiple races. I might play a $200 p4 if I really like a sequence and think I can beat a heavy fav. Id' love to make a DrugS like score this year. |
