Multiple & Exotic Bets
2008-04-16 - Darren Power
I know a lot of people dismiss multiple type bets as bad value
and just for suckers. I though the same for a long while but my
eyes have been opened to the potential of these bets over the
last few years by the expert writers that we employ at the
Betting School.
Of course for the football pro's it wasn't so long ago that they
had to bet in multiples in the bad old days before Betting
Exchanges.
Both Tony Gibson and Michael Wilding have proposed a closer look
at multiple bets in recenty articles and it is plain to see that
there is value to be had. When you combine together value bets
you multiply that value.
Recently Michael shared the calculation for working out value
odds for Exacta bets. With the Exacta you have to find the first
two home in the correct order. It's a bet that I've not tried to
win with since my days at the greyhound track where the track
tote was my only involvement.
Of course by design these bets are going to be at higher odds
and so losing spells will be longer before the win comes in, but
to offset this more than one bet can be made in each race as
long as the value remains.
The steps to success are...
- Create your own odds line or use one from a trusted source
- Calculate the value odds according to your odds for the Exacta
- Combine with more alternatives if there will still be value.
There is plenty of free information for all three steps
available online. So my message today is investigate different
types of bets that you may have discounted previously.
