I have nothing against pure gambling. I do it all the time. I know better than to play Roulette and even worse double against losses. But I do it. I just don't try to make a living at it. I like to take a shot in a gamble to go for a score or to get ahead of some losses. I've never lost the rent doing this yet... my wife's car payment once but that was a one shot deal believe me.
But I believe in advantage play too. In the link below, the author questions whether a win parlay may be better than playing the daily double. I like his ideas as far as a game plan for gambling goes. But the point that is lost on this author is that the Daily Double can be an advantage play. He does not address this.
Once you have made oddslines on the DD races, a half assed oddsline if you must cause I get the idea that many of the posters here don't think it can be done right (which I respectfully disagree with). Then you can determine if the payout is overlay money by checking the toteboard/monitiors. If I play the double like this, I'm not living or dying with the outcome. I fully expect to lose more times than I hit it. But the times that I hit it, I expect it to pay me back for the losses plus a little walking around money.
But as far as having some fun and taking a shot at a score to win today vs the long run, I like the authors ideas.
