Handicapping Question

[ceejay]

To me, dutching in the win pools is the most direct answer to the original poster's question. Given his parameters
$11 on the 8-1
$9 on the 10-1
that would yield about 4-1 on the blend, so you can figure the fair likelihood for that. There are some adw houses that allow conditional dutching.

Of course, outside the win pool, it depends how you handicap the race. Given the vertical or horizontal wagers available, they depend on what else you feel will occur. I have had many cases where a put a horse only in the top of my intra-race exotics as a non-single.
