What's your favourite horse race bet? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Sometimes I waste days playing web games. Not shoot em up stuff, but thinking man's games...
Today I've been playing a horse race game and now I totally want to go to the racetrack; I've developed the perfect betting strategy!

MY EXACTOR BET STRATEGY
I pick a good horse (good odds) with an average jockey (good win rate), then i pick a slower horse (weaker odds) with a great jockey (very high win rate) on the rail. Let's call these horse #1, and #2.
When I stand at the betting window I say, '...one dollar exactor box bet, horse #1 and #2'. This means that it doesn't matter which horse comes in first or second (its essentially two bets) and because it’s a $1 bet I only pay $2.00 total. The value here is the exactor combination is always difficult to win and therefore pays large $$. The one dollar box exactor bet is a cheap ticket to a big payout.

What's your usual bet?

Ambiguity to place in the ninth...

I despise horse-racing. I love horses too much to see them being abused in that manner.
