To get 40%-50% betting one horse would be great.
The "rolling" Daily Doubles and " rolling " Pick 3's are more than enough as a choice of exotics. Have you seen the payoff of these ?
Real nice prices.
Almost at least half the time , better than the exacta or trifecta without having to bet as much as those exotics. Check previous result charts and you can make up your own mind.
Especially those trifectas, holy crap. At least one horse whether place or show is half the time some " left field " horse who's past performance lines say the animal is clinically dead and if he so much as twitches , would die instantly.
"Knowing " who's going to win the race , whether 40% of the time or better is a good feeling. A money management plan can be formulated according to one's percentage.
Then again, there are professional para-mutual investors that win, but all have different styles, like the teaching members at PIRCO.
It takes a special mindset for not only to win, but to confidently exploit the exotics successfully and consistantly.
That's why Bob Cochran is an expericenced professional and probably one of the 1% who is truly a para-mutual investor by trade , if he so choses, and is a PIRCO Charter Teaching Member,tutor and legend, so my opinion here is sheer opinion.
