I disagree. If you can beat the 2nd choice in the place and show spots you can make money with the trifecta. Should you bet RA - ALL - ALL? No, but if you use her with the right combination of price horses you can do well.

Yeah, as long as you're not wheeling a million combinations it can be profitable.

With 8 horses in the race I don't see any money in it if RA wins.
A 1x 4 x All only costs 24 bucks. A 1 x All x All is 42 bucks. If RA wins I don't see the payoff > 100 bucks regardless of who finishes second.

Right...but if you find one horse that's a reasonable price and play her with a few horses and punch it a few times, you can do fine.
