How to bet exotics??

[ceejay]

I'm still working on my intrarace methods (and I have a hard time figuring who will finish 3rd or 4th) but a few things are clear to me:
Leave the favorite out of the 3-hole. As I understand it, statistically the fav is less likely to finish 3rd than first and the 3-hole in the Tri isn't a show bet. Also, the payoff will be underlaid.
Don't use the ALL key anywhere. That is saying you have no idea and hoping for a longshot. If that's what you want just put the longshots in the 3-hole.

Because I'm better at picking winners than third finishers I'll go deeper in the 3-hole. Something like 1,2/1,2,3,4/2,3,4,5,6 for $22 if the 1 is a favorite. or throw the 1 in the bottom for $2 more if not the favorite.
