I tried doing that 70% on those very prohibitive favorites. It felt very uncomfortable and the risk reward ratio was just pitiful.
Rather than do that I take that extra 10% and key that horse for an EX. where the reward is greater considering the risk or key that horse for a DD etc. At times I'll bet 40 and 40% and put that other 20% into an EX or DD and sometime will do that with the whole 60 or 70 % and just win bet the best odds horse.
At times I play the better odds horse more for an EX or DD and think of the smaller bet on the favorite as a save bet or a bet with a small profit. See my last couple of "Monkey" posts for an example. After all favorites still lose at least 60% or most the time. I make much more money doing that, especially if the favorite seems more vulnerable.
I don't really lock myself into a rigid betting method however for a beginner I strongly recommend the two horse bet as confidence is a strong factor in the decision making process.
