You're suggesting betting twice as much, right? You would have twice the money at risk and may or may not be making the better bet. You can't use a quinella in place of a single exacta bet.

What you can do is use two exacta bets in place of a quinella bet. Betting the same total amount on the two exactas as you would have bet on the single quinella, you can sometimes get a better return.
