I'll admit that at the NHC my initial strategy was flawed. I was betting for winners (and did fine picking them), but soon realized I was getting my ass kicked by someone with a max winner. One max winner ($64) is better than 5 winners at 3-1. I guarantee there were quite a few handicappers who did what they always did - look for solid horses, while the contest leaders were shrewdly catching higher paying horses. Late in the tournament I adopted a strategy of betting the best horse over 10-1. I finished a nostril hair away from getting a nice check when a 37-1 longshot was short an inch or two. Anyway, it's an interesting strategy, but I think it would take a lot of practice to get it right.
