Interested in the board's thinking either supported by database, books or personal experiences. Thanks in advance.

This is my play and might be an idea or two for you.
Going wide on doubles is not my saver. Going wide to hedge a double is better applied in a pick3. Average double payoffs can't support width.
Because Doubles pools do show the probables and will pays, I think doubles are better bet straight
Best practice.
Get a glimpse of the Double Probables as soon as pools are displayed. You can learn alot about the following race from that quick look. Early double money is a much better grasp of smart money across 2 races.
The main thing I'm looking for is a premium over the win pools.
