That can lead to a very nice return on your investment.
The downside is that on some occasions the payoff on the GS is somewhat small, so for it to be profitable you almost have to hit it multiple times.
My ideal GS play is when I have a very strong opinion in the final leg, so that I can spread in the early three legs and then single the final leg, hoping for multiple hits on a winning play in the leg where my opinion is strongest.

I agree with hitting it multiple times but I prefer to live and die with less horses and a higher increment, that way if it comes up chalky you can still walk with a couple hundred. And...it feels good to be wrong and still move forward!
