Hi, Angel417.
I've found that in the long run betting to prices will more or less have the same result as level betting PROVIDING there are not too many selections. I noticed this years ago when I was betting at the TAB using Mark Read's ratings for the exotics and the Win. My current records show this has not changed. It only takes one or two large divvies to obtain a daily profit.
With my quinellas, the minimum runners per race is 9 where hopefully the fave is not too short, and as Beton has stated that the longer the price of the fave the lesser chance it has of winning. I am hoping that when the fave does not win or run second then I will get the quinella, and as the fave is often overbet in exotics (especially the quaddie) I am also hoping the quinella divvy will be worthwhile. I have struck some good divvies over the past few weeks which unfortunately were prior to listing the selections here. After saying that, I had a $102 quinella yesterday where the total outlay for the day was $80 for a return of $114.
Today's selections are:
Rocky R6 nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 (no.3)
Rocky R7 nos. 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13 (no.3)
Rocky R8 nos. 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 10 (no.8)
Total outlay of $40.
