Set aside X dollars for playing the races. Ostensibly the amount you can "afford" to lose. Bet any way you want. If at the end of the year you have any amount of money left in the bankroll, you should be happy.
On the other hand, if your goal is to have more money in the bankroll than when you started, you better have a plan that will get you there.
I'm not going to disagree with you, but there is no reason you can't have it both ways. You can grind and churn in the safer pools and play the more complex exotics.
I've never known anyone who made money at the track to be anything other than happy.
