Take the case Phil brought up. Say you bet $10 across the board on Friendly Island. You would have gotten back $414. But, if you bet $15 to win and then back wheeled for $1, you would have gotten back $477.70. Say you thought there were 5 horses that were also logical (the winner being one of them) you could have bet $20 win on Friendly Island and $2 exactas with Friendly Island underneath. The $2 exacta paid $955.40.
Obviously it isn't going to work out every single time, but in the long run, I'm confident it does.

The back wheel is the most under utilized part of handicapping that most people never talk about. I always forget about it because like an idiot I just hit the WP button instead.
