Some of the longshots have been given out on here in the selections portion since I've been on here. Never once in my life did a score like that involve just one horse. I'm not talking about hedging, I'm talking about incorporating horses to hit a big ticket.
My biggest pick 3 and 4 tickets have involved the "all" button on days like this when people are making some ridiculous odds on a race horse.....that loses. All you need is a key horse and a supporting cast. That post was meant for people that love one horse and think they are going to score with it alone.
If you can tell me how to make a huge score on one horse without betting a ton to win, I'm all ears. 
I'm just saying I wont be betting "Win" in the Derby, I'm looking for Exactas, pic 3 and 4 and the double. Pretty much what you just said, but somehow we are in disagreement? I just don't get some people.  |
Actually, we are in total agreement. I go after the exotics, but not by spreading on the win end. Just my opinion, but if one feels the need to use 5 horses in the win slot, then they don't have an opinion on the race. I know plenty of "spreaders", and most cash a lot of tax tickets. They also burn through a lot of money. I have not made a win bet in the KD in a long time. This race is not the time to take 10 to one on the win end. I can do that on any given day. I'm looking out fill out a ticket. In a 20 horse field, with chaos of some sort usually a given, it's hard enough to construct a ticket with any confidence with one horse on top, let alone multiple horses. But feel free to do it your way.
