Ok mel, Looks like your suggestion is worth pursuing.
I checked the last 3 weeks for bot picks 1 and 2 in the Pic 3 races and got
257................Races where Pic 3 available and robot 'capped all 3 races(no rejected races)
36.................Pic3 Hits if using top2
$4,112.00.......Cost at 2x2x2 x $2 = $16/tkt
$4,564.30.......Return on Pic3 hits 2$base
1.11..............ROI.....(Mother of all redboarding but who cares
)
I've attached the data, maybe somebody can catch any errors, I did this pretty quickly.
I'll start a test run after the Holidays
