Over the last couple of years i have been predominantly a win only bettor. the last 3 months or so i have been using my win selection to come 2nd with the field for first in an exacta. It throws up some massive results.
Not sure how this can be tested, but it seems to be a better option than having a place bet on. I have been using a 1:5 ratio.. ie. $50 for the win $10 on the exacta.
some of yesterdays results
br 1.. **** $83
br 4.. **** $130
br 6.. **** $352
sr 3.. **** $30
sr 7.. **** $121
mr 2..**** $507
mr 5..**** $95
mr 9.. **** $33

largest one i have got over the time i have been doing it payed $900.
Saturdays seem to throw up the bigger divvies, but there have been some nice collects during the week.
Without accurate figures i do know that it has been far more rewarding to have the exacta, than the same dollar value on a place bet..

Any thoughts??
