Something I see from time to time is that when players play exotics, especially supers and long sequence horizontal wagers, the stress and pressure is immense. If you have three or four tracks going and are really hitting the exotics deep, you can really get burned out with that.
Second, with win betting only, I guess it depends what you are doing. If you live in the UK and play at betfair, for example, the win pool is more than enough for you. You can bet $4000 to win on a horse at fixed odds at 5-2, who ends up paying $5.90. Why fiddle with exotics when you have a good edge and can bet that much without hurting your price, and you know what price you are getting? Some folks there are 1.10 ROI with better prices, fixed odds and no rebate, and they would not think of branching out to high stress exotics.
