I try to keep my pick 4 under $60 and I try to keep my pick 3 under $30 (all for $1). Ticket structure isn't my strong suit, but some on here are great at it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think you have to be comfortable with the races in question. by that I mean that sometimes you are just playing a p3 or 4 without strong feelings about them. To me this is a mistake. It all depends on the races at hand in the sequence and how you see them, I like these races and have strong opinions on them or I like a couple of them and don't have a clue in one of them etc. To just structure bets according to a set idea is restricting and forcing a conclusion. A friend told me of his buddy who just bets p3's and only in a set way of 3,3,1 $9 bet and bets 10 of these a day between 2 tracks, limiting his losses, but he hits a lot of big ones. This is your formula of making a p3 a p2. To me it is too limiting, I may in fact end up doing one ofthese plays , but only when it fits what i am seeing in the races at hand, but it works for him. Try different ways and see what is successful and what you feel comfortable with.
