I will indeed compare my DD probables to my win bet ROI and see if its a worthy bet.

I must've missed the part where he mentioned a second race in which he likes five horses. . .

I at least gave him my answer. Other than criticize other peoples responses, I really dont see you providing any insight to this topic.

I almost never bet two to win, but I don't necessarily disagree with the practice of doing it. If the price is right, bet them. The Sartain guys were famous for dutching win bets and created a whole movement of play that did just that by winning an extremely high percentage of races. You would really have to hit big percentages to cover the lost ticket.

The example of boxing and wheeling exotics is a good analogy. If the payout is right, you can absorb the cost of losing tickets and still come out ahead.
