I sure wish Tizway hadn't shown up with his A game.

I bet Rodman

So, you really like a 36-1 shot and only make a win bet?

I eff up betting this game and getting the max out of my opinions as much as anyone but, If I like a 36/1 and he runs 2nd, I will make on the race.
Especially if the fav wins....

I just deleted a smartass response,hoping we can have a constructive conversation.

Yes, I bet Rodman to win, my only wager in the race. I have this problem often (seriously), so feel free to advise. When I box with the favorite, the favorite bombs and my longshot wins, leaving me a loser. I have thought about just going to WPS wagers on my many longshot picks

Have you ever considered betting to win AND backwheeling in an exacta?

[Mike]

Hate to admit it after 20 something years, but is "backwheeling" the same as having my horse underneath only, in the exacta?. I could win bet the longshot, and put him under a few horses in exactas, not just under the favorite (whom I may have felt was vulnerable in the first place)

[Mike]

googled backwheeling the exacta and got my answer at the Nightschool! I guess I'm in need of some extra cirricular education after all. Not sure where my minds been wandering since Lil E Tee's Derby win, perhaps I still spend too much time just staring at the fillies

It all come back to how much you want to spend in each race.
I'm not big on place betting but, at over 10-12/1 in a decent size field I have no problem with a place bet.

Most of my handle is exacta's and double's.
With the longest shot on the board in an 11 horse field, I would have no problem wheeling him with the field in exacta's and pressing with the top 3-5 choices.
