OK, here's my plan. I'd like to bet one horse that I feel will run 1,2,3 or forth. Play him in all these spots wih everyone in all the other three positions. Depending on the size of the field, this wager will run around $50.00 for ten-cent "supers".

Here's where I get into deep water.

1- Anyone feel strongly about any one entry that will run 1-4?

2- Do you belive that this type of bet makes good economic sense?

The $2.00 payout would have to be $1,000 to break even.

Thanks in advance for any sage insights that may be offered-up!

Thanks in advance for any sage insights that may be offered-up!I think you're going at it backwards. I don't think its wise to determine a bet structure before looking at the makeup of the race. Go the other way. Handicap the BC races and then see how your opinions would structure a wager.
