I can't explain my fixation with exotic betting except that you tend to get hooked.
I once collected $3300-00 for a $12-00 outlay and have been dabbling ever since.
I don't outlay huge amounts on this form of betting hence the continuing frustration at regularly going close but almost always missing out.
Today I had Alto Adige, Erskine Bay and Balla Marie 1st leg, Kildonan Road, Grand Legend and I Do Blue 2nd leg, Danzigs Delight, Pharsna Mugwump and Beetoo 3rd leg into North Alert one out. Cost, $18-00/50c unit.
Another fixation I have is trifecta betting.
If I could show you the list of long priced winners I have had over the years and never collected a cent because of missing the places in correct order, you would have me locked up.( usually outlay $10-00-$20-00 with 2 selections to win and other combinations for 2nd and 3rd.)
I often think I will have to take a break and come back a reformed win only bettor.

Or you could open a NSW betting account and go flexi-betting........ might lower the % of the divy, but it does allow you a little wider scope for the same outlay....... just a thought.... That's what I do and I'm a Victorian (and proud of it !)..... only thing is I have to wait to go fishing at Yarrawonga to make a withdrawal..... but that's a good excuse to go fishing (not that I need one to sit on the Mighty Murray River bank with a can in one hand, races on the radio, form guide on the lap, line in the water....... and no bait on the hook!).
Actually going fishing next week...... 1 December is the re-opening of cod season..... see if I can build the bank a little bit more before then - so my week away doesn't cost me a red cent - love it when the punt funds my lifestyle..... 
Good Luck fella.
