Umrum,

I think he dodd meant is horse A that is $2.00 for a win the same chance of collecting as horse B that is $2.00 for the place.

In this case the answer (in the long run) is basically YES - the chances of A winning are essentially the same as B running a place.

If your only criteria is the price of the runner then you may as well go to the casino and put your money on Red/Black at the roulette wheel.

To make money you need to do your form study and work out what suits you best - some people prefer win betting, some place but neither one is necessarily better than the other.
