Betting 2 horses has always been an interesting topic for me.
I never was an advocate of it until recently when I started play around with a hedging program and started using Synergism 2.
I now look for selected races to bet and will proceed in this manner.
2 horses both over 7-2 odds ( I bet them both evenly).
--------------------------------------------------------
1 horse above 7-2 and 1 horse below 7-2 ( the lesser odds horse is used as a "breakeven horse" and is hedged accordingly) usually more money would go on the higher priced horse then if they were both bet evenly.
My cut-off on the low odds horse is approx. 2-1 odds.
If the low odds horse goes too low I might consider a win, place bet in the manner described below on the higher priced horse.
This method is often referred to as the free bet method.
------------------------------------------------------------
Both horses are below 7-2 ( I pass the race).
------------------------------------------------------------
If one of my 2 horses scratch, the other would have to be at 7-2 or above.
If this is the case, I bet 2.5 times the amount on place as I would bet on win. Ex. $4 win, $10 Place.
