Pick Four format
 

Fraser Rawlison, aka The ODDS Professor at Hasting's showed me a great template for the pick 4. A way to reiterante favorites yet have enough breadth to cover enough if a longer price invades the outcome.


Ticket 1 ticket 2 ticket 3 ticket 4 ticket 5
Leg 1 A ABBB A A A
Leg 2 A A ABBB A A
Leg 3 A A A ABBB A
Leg 4 A A A A ABBB

Ticket 6 ticket 7 ticket 8 ticket 9 ticket 10 ticket 11
Leg 1 ABBB ABBB ABBB A A A
Leg 2 ABBB A A ABBB ABBB A
Leg 3 A ABBB A ABBB A ABBB
Leg 4 A A ABBB A ABBB ABBB

A = your top choice BBB=your 2nd 3rd 4th choices

This spreads out coverage as well as has enough favorite redundancy to allow for multiple tickets if all the chalk comes in.

Leg 1 A_____ ABBB__ A_____ A_____ A_____
Leg 2 A_____ A_____ ABBB__ A_____ A_____
Leg 3 A_____ A_____ A_____ ABBB__ A_____

Leg 2 ABBB__ A_____ A_____ ABBB__ ABBB__ A_____
Leg 3 A_____ ABBB__ A_____ ABBB__ A_____ ABBB__
Leg 4 A_____ A_____ ABBB__ A_____ ABBB__ ABBB__

1+4+4+4+4+16+16+16+16+16+16 = 113 bets if my math is right

Fraser did note that the format was only for serious players with a good bankroll as it can go days with NO trips to the window and then BOOM, Box Cars the next BUT is that not the way of the fickle parimutuel??
