i believe, originally, grits said she does bet the longshot to win, and then hedges the longshot underneath the favorite for the exacta.
still hit the win bet if the longshot wins, but over time the ROI will be greater if you have the exacta than just the place price if your longshot finishes 2nd.
unless of course, the horse goes off at 150-1 and the place pays $90
