exacta betting
if there is 10 horses in the race and for example and you wanted to bet $14 , you could for example bet $4 a win and $10 a place or you could bet your selection at $4.50 a win and take your selection with an exacta - the field first and your selection for second, cost $9.50, now if your selection comes
second instead of first , i have struck some amazing dividends. often an outsider comes in first , and even if the second placegetter is only around the $2 mark the exacta return can be very high . if you pick the right races and the second placegetter is paying much lower price than the winner, the returns can be extra good , a few weeks ago in a 7 field trot race ,where the second placegetter was in the market, the exacta paid over $400 while the quinella paid only $19 so if you are good at picking second placegetters, I believe the exacta offers the better bet over place bets.just about every race day my selections get home second and the exactas have paid between $200 and $1,5OO.The exactas offers no value when the the lowest priced horse gets home first. how many times have you seem a short priced favorite get beaten on-the -line by a real outsider.? often in maidens with first starters.
