With a better payout also....P3 and P4's are for people that have strong opinions LATER within the sequence. Example, a 10/1 ML that looks like he will be 5/1 closing, that is value.

So many people play the first couple legs and then in teh last leg throw in the two/three favorites because their is no information available to them.

I have almost completely stopped betting Tri's, and I am trying to completely stop betting Exacta's, although I have recently eliminated the place bet from my repetitore (unless the horse is 8/1 or better) and started boxing horses in the exacta with what I was going to do with place money so for example

$100 Win 1
$25 exacta box 1 with 2,3

instead of $100 Win/Place 1
