Two horse betting, as you say, is a cornerstone of the methodology.
Your reference to an 8/5 and a 4-1: this is .70 - 1 entry and the bet is split right at 2/3rd on the 8/5 and 1/3rd on the 4 -1. The article you are referring to is in Follow Up #2 by Huey Mahl and the multipliers can be found on the charts in the article in order to size and dutch the bets.
Depending on your average mutuel and win percent, a 70 cent return might be a pass. Huey in general recommended passing once a dutch entry was less than 50 cents.
I love 2 horse betting and hear it from people nearby at the OTB that it doesn't make sense. I have two responses ready at all times: 1) Do you have just one stock in your portfolio?; and 2) let me see the last exacta ticket you played....I can almost guarantee you have more than one horse in the win position. As soon as you box an exacta, you are a two horse win bettor!
Continued good luck to all here....hope we are able to be live at CD in May!
