As a new comer I'd recommend staying away from exotics or multiples bets such as Trifectas, Quaddies, Running Doubles etc until you are more confident. I'd also look at the old adage "tip to win but bet to place" which means that you should place bet only, or bet to win 1 unit and to place with 3 units thereby "covering" your bet to a degree.

Its easier to give advice than to follow too, but all the best and hope you tip a winner to three
