I know a lot of people think that multiple bets are fools gold and only created by bookmakers to fleece the unsuspecting. I used to think just the same.
However my eyes have been opened to the potential of the multiple or exotic bet recently by some of the articles written by the expert writers of the Betting School Insiders Report.
Particularly Michael Wilding and Tony Gibson, both of whom are professional gamblers in their own right.
In particular my eyes have been opened to the occasional value that is available from the Exacta. This is the bet where you have to name the first two home in the correct order. I haven’t played with this type of bet since my early betting days at the greyhound track where the track tote and the Exacta and Trifecta were my bets when I didn’t have a clear opinion about a race!
I’ve just read a piece submitted by Michael where he details the calculation for working out how much value if any is available in your Exacta or your combination of Exacta’s.
To succeed you need to create your own oddsline or use one created for you (we covered this in an earlier issue and the lesson is available in our members area). Then you just use the forecast odds in a simple calculation to see how much value you can obtain. When the odds are good you have a bet.
