What would be a believable ROI for exotic bets?

What would be a believable ROI for all bets?

Looking more for empirically grounded responses.
Just using my current stats as a reference..

My top selection in the paper this year is winning at 28.5% with a $2.13 ROI

My top two selections in an exacta box have connected 22-for-144 - so 15.3% with a $3.61 ROI

My top three selections in a Tri box have connected 11-for-123 - so 9% with a $1.98 ROI .. on 21 occasions one of my top 3 was scratched.
