Hi Jeff, Doc had something similar to Taulbots cept it was $2/$4/$6 Heres somethng you might like. Its from an old Larry Vogele book long outoff print. Its called the place parlay and is based somwhat on using leverage from the track. If your top pick runs second alot this is a great remedy. Take the horse that you think is best and bet a flat bet amount on it to place only. Use a seperate backroll for this and you make flat bets only too. Say you have a $100 dollar bankroll. Lets use 5% for each place bet, ie 5 bucks. Foryou place bets be selective, only your best picks of the entire card!! Usually thats only 2 races. K here goes, on you first pick bet $5 to place on it. If the horse wins or runs second get your payoff ( dont bet if the win odds are less than 2/1 pass otherwise) Now sit tight till your second pick of the day goes off and put the entire amount of the first bet on it, ( that means your bet plus the profit) If the second horse wins or runs second you have a completed parlay. If you loss it then go back to the same flat amount that you bet on the first horse to place. Keep records of your 20 race cycle with this and ONLY use your best picks of the card. You might be suprised at the results, Ive made more profit at this than win bets many times.
