Itis rare that the combination of the place and show bet is a losing proposition. If you play $100 across that is $300. Even if the place paid $2.80 and the show paid $2.40 you still make money.

The name of the betting game is to bet the races with bad favorites. Anyone who bets all of the races, chalk or not, is going to lose at this game.

Double down when you like a horse that the public doesn't. Don't bet the simulcasts, or even live races, with two minutes to post because you want the "action". That's probably the toughest thing for people to do. Just my take.
