i always try to get leverage with pick 3s or pick 4s...or 5s.. supers and tris seem to pay very well as well as exactas if you can catch at least a 10-1 shot with a horse that is more heavily wagered. personally im all about the pick 4s and 5s especially at bigger pool tracks. NY always pays great when one horse wins at $20 in a leg even if more chalk horses pay lower the other legs.
