Disagree:
Horizon bets usually provide the best value, with the payoffs usually paying higher than the parlay.
I'm a weekend warrior, so the last pick 4 I played was the one on SOS day at Calder. ( 3.20 - 4.60 - 18.20 - 3.60 ) The Pick 4 payout was $220.70 for a buck. The Pick four payout was way higher than the parlay.
Now in the above pick four, anyone betting more than $150 into the sequence was crazy as Indyanne and Benny the Bull bookended the sequence and the fields were rather short.
On the other hand, betting a $150.00 ticket at Delmar ( or anywhere else ) where the fields are large and the races are wide open, sometimes if you DON'T bet enough you are only cheating yourself by not giving yourself the right opportunity to hit the ticket. ( example: BBB )
If I feel that to properly structure my P4 ticket will cost too much, than betting a Pick 3 is an option.
If you haven't read Christ's Exotic Betting book - its a must for any pick 4 player.
wac: if you dont have the book, shoot me a PM w/address. I have 2 copies ( got 2nd as a gift ) I'll give you the other one.
