Hi Hanger! I think you'll find that many of the people who post in Selections 9as a small subset of RDSS users) bet horizontals such as Doubles through Pick4s (and 5s and 6s). Also verticals. I.e. all bet types!
RDSS is good at getting Win Contenders, and identifying contenders with finishing ability better than publicly priced (i.e. better than Win Odds, aka overlays). If they don' win, you should consider them for verticals (e.g. the 'longshot' category of the 4-Factor method).
It is crucial to identify true Win Contenders, though 2-horse Win pool betting alone doesn't pay what it used to, nor does it provide as many opportunities. Hence vertical and horizontal exotics.
For horizontal wagers, horses rated in the Top 4 Rx3 or by a 4-Factor rating approach which are also Morning Line Ranked 3+ (i.e. potentially longer odds) can be investigated further for inclusion. Of course, you have to do some exclusion work on a situational basis, as you can't just bet 4-horse horizontal caveman tickets.
Consider contacting members '
winning', '
dogkatcher' or '
sureshotlink' by PM for their take on using RDSS in Contests. My sources tell me they have been successful in the past
. Others as well, though I can't recall who at the moment.
Good luck!
