Chuck,
I very seldom bet 2 horses to win anymore.I used to bet 2 horses using a 10% partial Kelly on a Group Dutch Overlay software by mathematician Mike Pascual.I was so busy watching the tote and calculating and making sure i put my bets in time.I made some money but i was always frustrated when one of the horses will be bet down from say 9/2 post time and the final odds will be 2/1.I changed my betting after being invited by a big bettor who showed mw his CAW(computer-assisted wagering)software wherein he can place bets within 30 seconds after the betting window closes,to maximize his rebate and assure him of a profit.I really cannot believe that the tracks allow this,but they don't care about us...Now i just don't follow the tote too close anymore and i just make one horse win bets.As long as you know you will be right a certain percentage of the time to assure a profit.
