I was asked recently by a member of our group here at pace and Cap
If I think he should bet two horses to win ?

I thought about it today and my advice to him and anyone else is, Try to work races and stucture your bet
any way that ,although we all hate to lose- when you lose a race things make sense
and you feel good about your decision

I have set goals in the past to bet only one horse I have also made plans to just bet exactas
and also another time just to bet pick 3's

These experiments never work out too well for me But doing them I found I would
see the same patterns that have sunk into my head and
kick myself when the patterns produced winners that i would have had
if I just bet two horses to win

this is hard to put into words ,any time you do something by feelings
its hard to show what exactlly you mean ,
Yesterday at Philly race 7 turned out to be basically a push
but horses being bet down Is something I have to live with now that i bet ahead of time

The race was a 5.5 furlong sprint I worked the race in my normal steps APV CR
Best of the last 3 pacelines using Val 4

here is the BLBL

My win bets were the 1 and the 3

Now in my mind this race was all about the 3
My readout over the years at philly have shown me that
the top 2 LPR horses do very well at 5.5 furlongs
Everthing fit great The pattern of the 1 ( it had 2 very good lines )
and the 2/1 Ml made it a bet but really I was hoping for the 3
horse I bet the 1 win only and the 3 WPS
I bet enough on the 1 to make me a profit
and cover the bet on the 3 For me this bet works because the 1 can win
and the 3 could place and show ,

The 1 won the race and paid $6.20 the 3 rand dead last

I must bet 2 horses I could have just bet the 3 WPS
but I need two horses riunning in a race for my head
My advice again is to bet the race any way that when its over
win or lose your ok with your decision
