I will not play a pick 3 if I like a favorite in one of the legs.
I will put every horse that can win in a ticket, but only if the ticket costs about $30. Sometimes I add a ticket with only my win bets, say A/AB/A.
Sometimes I will make multiple tickets, especially if the minimum is $.50.
If I like ABC/ABC/ABC I will play if for the minimum unit. Then I play A/ABC/ABC and ABC/A/ABC and ABC/ABC/A. If A wins all three races I win 4 times. But if C wins all three races I still win once. And none of the ABC horses are favorites.
Works for the $50 pick 4 too.
In other word I have no set rules for structuring any bet, except cost per possible payout.
