Title: wagering
Post by: andrew on June 11, 2026, 05:34:16 PM

this is just my thought on this
why box an exacta ?
way i look at it you for sure just wagered a loser [unless a dead heat].
myself have never box'd an exacta. i believe in my wager to run one two
yes it has cost me, but i cant get it out of mt mind one wager put in for sure is a loser

a trifecta i get it,, but knot an exacta

we all have our different styles and thats cool. if ya box em,, good luck. may the horse be with you

Agree Andrew. I never box an exacta just for that reason  tmbz1
Tri's and Supers I key the winner on top and then spread

Boxing exacta is almost never good strategy. It can be ok if you toss the chalk entirely.

Betting to place is 99.99% of the time a horrendous decision. Brutally awful.
