You are probably right in staying with the larger handles.
Tonight for my first time at Penn. I was constantly hit by the fluctuating odds.
I do waggercapping and on one of my winners I got paid $5.60. Three minutes to post I was sure he was 8/1. Later on in the 7th #10 Bobs Valentine was a horse that I liked a lot, but since he was 5th in BL/BL and only 4/1 several minutes to post,I bet two higher ranked horses with better odds. Bobs Valentine went wire to wire and paid $24.20.
I believe this happens when the handle is small.
I am going to look at Evangeline Downs and if the same type of thing is happening there its back to the larger mutual's for me.
I'm not a gambler, I don't do this for the thrill of it.
I'm in to make a steady profit.
I don't need to go 10-15 races to make a score.
I'm doing alright with my puny but steady $1.35 ROI
