I'm sure you can be more specific if you try. Could you please cite a recent post where someone said before or after the race that they actually bet 3 or 4 horses to Win in a race, distinct from simply posting their 3 or 4 pre-race contenders? Maybe, several of such posts?

Posting a workup or study of what would have happened had you bet 3 or 4 horses to win in a race by some method or other is not the same as actually betting like that. Sometimes the workup is to prove or disprove a concept.

As I posted the other day, somewhere here, I suspect the vast majority of members actually bet on average about 2 horses or less to win, not 3 or 4 (partly because that has been a functional principle of the Sartin Methodology since about forever).

Most people can't or don't want to post their bet decisions at 1 minute to post, so they post their contenders instead, presumably with the understanding that which horses they eventually bet (if any) is determined by the odds at bet time.
