You would never take a systems entry at lotto as you would be betting against yourself and wasting money?
You would never play more than one number per spin at roulette?

Wunfluova, can you find me a race where backing two horses to win will give me 18/1 and they have a realistic chance of winning?
Lotto is betting against yourself, so is any other multi or exotic form of investment. The key factor is "do the odds have sufficient profit in them to make it worthwhile?"
You'll never find quaddie /trifecta/exacta/ lotto return percentages in a race by backing multiple runners.
Give me a race at Flemington where every runner is 1000/1 and I'll bet multiple selections  |
