On the same racecard I instead decide to play the late pick 4 1x1x5x5. My investment is $12.50 and I hit the first two legs. I can now compare the p-4 payout for $.50 to a $12 DD in legs 1 and 2. In most cases the $12 DD in legs 1 and 2 will pay very close to the $.50 p-4 payout. It is the races in which I spread that determines my profit margin.
The way I see it is that the lower the minimum the more amateur money gets into the pools.

LOL... Sorry Port I am not smart enough to have the faintest clue of what you are trying to say.
