These ROI's for each particular wager can change with one or two photos. Many times, I'll cash my win bet and lose the rest, sometimes I'll cash the tri or super and lose my win bet. The bottom line is that I'm winning. I'm not going to stop betting to win and superfectas because I've shown a negative ROI on those wagers over a long period of time. Some days I'll win because I've cashed a lot of win bets, some days I'll win because I've cashed on trifectas. The bottom line is what counts, whether I show a profit on a particular wager is irrelevant. I'm not using those type of wagers as a crutch. It just happens that sometimes those wagers keep me from losing a particular race/day/week. As I stated, anyone of those wager types can turn from a negative roi to positive with a few different photo finishes.
The point I was trying to make in this post is that the wagers with the losing ROI should not be given up just because I'm showing a negative ROI on those particular wagers. Each wager is all part of the grand scheme of things that helps me along my way both mentally and financially. I was trying to explain that if I dropped those wagers, they could have a butterfly effect on the way I play and in turn, may turn me into a losing player.
If you knew me personally, you'd realize how far from the truth your statements are (Fragile Ego
).
By the way, LOSING bets are not necessarily BAD bets.
