Lessons Well Learned. I definitely concur with this and I will now quote it. I know that there are, in my opinion, some misguided and brain washed people that will disagree with what follows next, which is, and in my opinion, there misfortune. There are those that are fixated on a antiquated set of rules that were originated for those that could not or not have the ability or confidence to make a single horse winning horse pick.
"4. Bet to Win
I spent a good part of my early betting days making across-the-board bets, especially when I landed on a longshot, and there is something to be said for being rewarded when a bomb clunks up or hangs on for a minor spot, but in general
I’ve come around to betting almost exclusively straight win bets when I’m not playing exotic bets. If you make three substantial win bets on horses at a solid value, you only need one winner to make a nice profit. If two-thirds of that money is tied up in place and show bets, you might need all three to run well.
The win bet should be the key bet, especially for newcomers. Takeout (the amount of money that goes to the track that is not returned to bettors) for win, place, and show bets is less than most exotic bets. Most importantly, don’t bet two or more horses to win in the same race. You start out with at least one bet that’s a guaranteed loser, and it’s a recipe for disaster in the long term."

I am not opposed to RDSS or the Sartin software. I have been successful with Energy about 15 years ago. I no longer use them.
Today's horse racing has evolved and the racing classes presented on todays cards are far more complex then they have ever been. Accurate information technology and value is what's needed to handicap successfully.
I would never bet in this manner. producing an even money outcome as in shown in the race example provided. It is a futile, weak and non productive example. I sincerely believe the following bet shown, is not a good example of what one should be doing.
