I prefer this. Obviously, these are my best guesses as to how certain races will be bet.
"A" = any contender that is likely to offer good betting value in the relevant pool
"B" = any contender that that won't be significantly overbet, but that probably won't add much if any value. That could be a 1-1 horse with 40%-45% chance of winning, a 2-1 horse with 25%-30% chance of winning etc.. but if it's a 1-1 horse with a 30% chance of winning, 2-1 with a 20% of winning etc.. it's a toss.
"C" = the occasional bomb I think is very unlikely to win, but offers such exceptional potential value I want him on some of my "A" tickets.
X = all others.
Most tickets are just As and Bs with a heavy focus on As.
Every combination must have at least two "A" horses on it or maybe an A and C or I see no reason to go into that pool.
If I can't structure a bet like this because it's too expensive or I can't combine two "A"s because I only have one, I'll just bet those "A" and "C" horses to win or use them in verticals.
