As I said I bet based on my odds projections and absolutely do not use the live tote board at all. I am not concerned with the impossible task of structuring bets based upon last second odds changes, especially when most of those changes occur after the race has already started and the betting is closed.
Without getting into my exact process and betting parameters it would be safe to say that I always bet the 2 lowest projected odds horses beyond the minimum odds and minimum ROI that I have established based on my historical results. I pass certain race conditions and any race where I can't find 2 horses to bet as well as any race where my lowest projected horse is at 3/5 or less(projected).
I only offer this approach as a suggestion for anyone to look beyond the handicapping process and focus more on the money being bet on the board which has proven to be the most accurate predictor of results. And, of course, what works for me may not work for someone else, especially if they do not keep records and then set their own parameters.
