New York racing offers the lowest takeout in the country on daily doubles. In the first leg of either pick 4 the bettor has probables to gauge the value of their choices.
If the ticket layout is 1,2/1,2,3/1,2,3/1,2,3 ($54) it is equivalent to six $9 daily doubles.
If you spot an overlay on any of the six daily double combinations it makes more sense to pull that particular combination(s) from the pick 4 and make a $9 DD wager. This will give you money in the bank if it comes in and the option to parlay all or some of the payoff into the 3rd and 4th legs in another daily double.
While I agree with Steve that the combinations can grow exponentially you are assured of an overlay on your daily double and in the next two legs you will again have the option to view which of your combinations offer the best value.
