It all depends on how good you believe your handicapping is.

I think the thing about the A/B/C method is, usually an all A ticket is a smaller & cheaper ticket, so you are supposed to punch it a few times.

An example is the Presidents day card at Santa Anita, the early pick 5 looked very formful and could've been punched a few times for a very small number.

Personally, I feel like the Gulfstream cards have been borderline impossible and would need to throw a lot more money at those sequences. There have been a lot of quirky results.

Everybody plays it differently, but regardless on which method you use, you definitely need some racing luck.
