Very rarely will I 'dutch' a race. I have bet 80 to win on my top choice at say 5-1, then maybe put 20 on a bomb that I like. The last time I remember doing that was haskell day at Mon park last year, when they ran 1-2 for a sweet exacta.

see, i would never ever consider betting 2 horses to win, i would feel like i was betting against myself....also you cant make money betting 1-1 or 4-5 shots to win, but keying in a pick 3 or 4 and catching a price with it, you then can make money

I dont usually bet odds-on horses, but I hate passing up a win bet on a horse I really like and miss in a leg where I didnt have as strong of an opinion.

How is that different than using 2-3 horses in a leg of a horizontal wager? You are, to quote you, technically "betting against yourself" if you dont go 1-1-1-1 in a P4
