Show parlays are fun...
If a group of us is at the track, (and especially if we have novice handicappers with us) it's a fun way for everyone to throw in $5 or $10 to start and build enough money to pay the dinner and/or bar tab.
I find it difficult for me personally to approach the bet seriously as a means towards achieving a Positive ROI, because it doesn't have the instant gratification or exotic appeal of exactas, trifectas, pick 3s, etc...
Still, I agree the possibilities are there.
