Default Betting on multiple horses

Hi all!
Followed this thread with interest, and have a qustion.
I have a very good understanding of the mathematics of dutching, but not the rationale behind it.
For arguments sake, we select four horses for a win (selection method not withstanding) and we win more often than not, ie. we are in profit.
Does this not mean, that one or two or all of our selections will provide a profit? If so, can we not sort out which selection(s) provides the greatest profit and put all the money on it (them)?
I am a 'one horse for the win in a race' man myself, and using my second etc. selections in the multiples.
Thank you
