In general, you are considering the ranks from the top down for each race.
Win Betting Guidelines:
Wait close to post time as possible
Bet to win
Ranks 1 & 2: at 4/1 or better
Rank 3: at 5/1 or better
Rank 4: at 7/1 or better
I suggest betting two horses for win if odds allow . . .
* When betting two horses – as a guideline (using the parameters given above):
– require 8 total combined odds minimum if using both ranks 1 & 2
Ex: If you have allowed 9/5 on the top rank – you’d need min. 7/1 on the 2nd
– require 10 total combined odds minimum when using ranks 1 or 2 with 3rd rank
– require 12 total combined odds minimum when using ranks 1, 2 or 3 with 4th rank
If you are a more patient type bettor. This is actually my own personal betting plan:
– raising the minimum acceptable odds to 5/1 for Win Bets will substantially raise your long-term ROI.
– raising the minimum acceptable combined odds to 10-1 will substantially raise your long-term ROI.
Exacta-betting Guidelines:
Use each win-bet qualifiers as one of your “on top” horses.
Use the remaining Index horses underneath each of those to give you 6 to 8 combinations...
NOTE: #1 If the race favorite is not in the Top four – also include it on the bottom of each ticket
NOTE: #2 If you use the top four M/L favs in the underneath of your exactas you'll see a higher hit rate.
NOTE: #3 If there are scratches after I post I will attempt to adjust the page in "blue" font.
