One of the things I have learned reading from this board (more specifically Mathcapper) is how useful daily double will-pays can be in estimating what the final odds will be. When betting a track that offers rolling doubles, the first thing I do when betting opens on a race is use the DD will-pays (or if the winner of the first leg was a longshot, then the probables from the favorite in the first leg) to estimate the win odds. It doesn't make me a winner (I consider a break-even year to be a success), but it reduces the frustration of watching the odds plummet after my money is down.
