Quick-and-Dirty Track Techniques:
The Exacta
by Gordon Pine
For over a decade, I�ve sold and counseled in the use of record-keeping software for handicappers. (Keeping and analyzing betting records is both the thing that handicappers least like to do � me included � and the thing that helps their profitability the most.) During that time, I�ve seen the actual betting records of many handicappers. I may have the dubious distinction of having seen more handicappers� betting records than anyone else on earth. It�s not the kind of thing most people get to see. Like a CPA�s intimate knowledge of many people�s financial details, I�ve seen the reality � good, bad and ugly � of many handicappers� betting.
To place on Exacta on this outcome, we'd have to check the '1 st ' box next to the #2 horse, and the '2 nd ' box next to the #7 horse. Then we'd add the wager to our betting slip, using the button at the bottom right. This is known as a 2-7 Exacta, because we're backing the. EXACTA – Bet on the horses to finish FIRST and SECOND in the exact order. Bet 3 different ways: Single: Choose 1 horse for FIRST and 1 horse for SECOND. Perm: Choose any number of horses for FIRST and for SECOND. Box: Choose 2 or more horses. You collect if the horses chosen include the FIRST and SECOND finishers.
What was the most common trend in all those betting records? It was a tendency to win money in win, place and show betting and give most, all, or more than all of it back in exotics. So my advice was usually simple: Stop betting exotics! Or bet them only on paper until you find a profitable method.
Take the exacta. Racegoers tend to hack away at the exacta in an ugly fashion, boxing and wheeling their way to poverty. They commit the cardinal sin of trying to cash the bet rather than going for value in the long run. If you want to cash exactas, I�ve got a system for you: box every horse in the race. I guarantee that you will hit 100% of the time. And you will lose a heck of a lot of money.
Principle #1 of exacta betting is that you�ve got to bet lean and mean.

It's time to relax and let BetUS coach you on how to bet on sports while you catch up on the latest sports betting news. We will shower you with tons of free NFL picks, NBA picks, and parlays for your favorite sports including NCAA football and basketball.
Principle #1 of exacta betting is that you�ve got to bet lean and mean. With a 25% or so takeout, this is a must. If your system is to bet four-horse boxes, you�re putting out $12 per race (assuming $1 exactas). Do that regularly and you�re unlikely to get your money back. The smaller you can make your per-race outlay, the more likely you are to show a profit in the long run. I know that some well-regarded handicappers have written about 'constructing a bet' so that you make money if your key horse or horses run anywhere in the money. That may work for them personally, maybe because they have the handicapping judgement to know when to apply the technique. But for most handicappers, even really good ones, it�s a mistake to try to cash the exacta based on multiple outcomes. So, lean-and-mean exacta betting suggests that you set it up so you cash only if your key horse wins. Save your money on all those other saver bets.
Principle #2 of exacta betting is that every exacta combination must have a value component. There are many complex ways, including handheld computers and exacta grids, to estimate the fair pay of each exacta combination. You can then compare that fair pay to the actual payoff on the monitor, and thus decide which combinations contain value and deserve a bet. One problem with these techniques is that actual exacta payoffs are even more volatile than win odds (and you know how hard it is to know what win odds you�re going to get these days), so you�re never quite sure if you�re getting the value you think you are. A second problem is the amount of last-minute work you have to do in each race to try to bet only overlaid exacta combinations. I think exacta grids are workable, but handheld computers just have too much inputting and last-minute stressing-out for my taste.
Principle #3 of exacta betting is that you better seriously consider including the first and second favorite in your combinations. Something like 85% of all exactas contain either the first or second favorite, so unless you want to restrict yourself to the remaining 15%, you better use them in some of your combinations. (The origin of this stat is lost in the mists of time, so I�m open to correction if a reader has more accurate statistics on the rate of favorites placing in the exacta.)
Now here�s the quick-and-dirty part: My typical way of betting exactas has been to wheel my overlay top-and-bottom to the top two favorites. This has worked well for years, but in the spirit of Principle #1: Bet lean and mean, I�m going to tweak it. My records don�t distinguish between the profitability of the overlays on top of the favorites and the overlays under the favorites, but my suspicion is that the profitability of overlays in the place spot have lagged behind overlays in the win spot.
So here�s what I suggest: bet your overlay on top of the top two favorites. This is a $2 exacta outlay, so it�s lean and mean. It has a value component because when a horse is an overlay in the win pool, it�s usually an overlay in the exacta pool. And it includes the first and second favorites, so you�re not cutting myself out of 85% of the winning exacta combinations. (If your overlay is the top favorite, use the second and third favorites in the second spot. If your overlay is the second favorite, use the first and third favorites in the second spot.)
If you have two overlays, wheel both of them on top of the top two favorites. Then box the two overlays. This is a $6 exacta outlay. It�s lean and mean, it has a big value component (as you will find out if your overlays run one-two), and it includes the top two favorites. If you have three or more overlays, skip the race. As Steve Fierro discusses in his Three-Overlay-Pass filter, if you have this many overlays, it may be because you are unduly disrespecting the favorites � your line is probably inaccurate.
So here�s the summation: Bet lean-and-mean exactas with a value component that involve the top two favorites in some of your combinations. Do this by part-wheeling your overlays on top of the favorites and boxing your overlays. Stay away from three-plus overlay races. When your overlay runs second or third, get over it and move on to the next race. And be sure to tip the ladies who sell you coffee and donuts or the racing gods will get you and it�ll all go south no matter what you do. NC

What is an Exacta?
- A Tote Exacta bet requires you to pick the first and second horses to finish in a race.
- This can be a straight Exacta or a reverse Exacta.
- Minimum total stake for an Exacta bet is 50p.
How do Tote Exacta bets work?
Aim for a big dividend payout by finding the first two horses to finish in any race. If you fancy a particular finishing order, then a straight Exacta is the bet to strike. If you want to cover yourself, a reverse Exacta means you'll be paid out if your chosen horses finish first and second in the either order.
Winning a Tote Exacta bet
While the premise of a Tote Exacta is to back the two horses that finish first and second in the race of your choice, there are three ways in which you can place an Exacta bet.
Straight Exacta
This is the simplest way, and the one that will generally see you return more on your initial stake. For this bet to you win, you pick two horses to come first and second, in that order. If you they do, you win a share of the money in the Tote Exacta pool.
Combination Exacta
Think you know which two horses will come home first, but not sure which order? Then this is the bet for you. With a combination exacta your bet will include both Horse A to finish 1st ahead of Horse B, as well as Horse B coming 1st, with Horse A in 2nd.
You need to remember that by placing a Tote Exacta of this kind, you are essentially having two bets, with your selections reversed. Therefore, your stake will be double to that of a Straight Exacta.
A Combination Exacta doesn't have to be limited to just two horses either. You can choose as many horses as you like to make up your bet. Once again, because you are multiplying your potential winning lines, you are also multiplying your stake.
For example, choosing three horses in your Combination Exacta would mean your bet would include 12 bets, with the following potential winning combinations:
Horse A 1st, Horse B 2ndHorse A 1st, Horse C 2nd
Horse B 1st, Horse A 2nd
Horse B 1st, Horse C 2nd
Horse C 1st, Horse A 2nd
Horse C 1st, Horse B 2nd
If there's one horse your particularly keen on, but you can't decide between a couple of others to fill the runners-up spot, a Banker Exacta could be the bet for you.
We've reduced the minimum stake per bet to just 1p, meaning it's more affordable than ever to place a big combination Exacta, just as long as the total stake is at least 50p.
Banker Exacta
With this bet, you fix the horse to finish first, but cover the permutations of any other number of horses to finish second.
In effect this type of bet sits somewhere in the risk stakes of a Straight Exacta and Combination Exacta.
Non-Runners in Tote Exacta bets
The repercussions of a non-runner in a Tote Exacta bet that you have placed depends on the number of horses you have included.
How To Play Exacta In Horse Racing Betting
For Straight Exactas, a non-runner would deem your whole bet void.
If you have multiple lines and combinations in your bet, then only those scenarios including that horse would be deemed void, and your stake returned, the remaining bets will stand.
