I will admit it. I bet to place. Should I sign up for a special counseling service to break this habit? I originally learned the game by finding the winner and if he was over 5-1, bet him equally win and place. Years later, I only do it on horses that are over 10-1 and when I don't feel confident about creating the exacta or other vertical wagers (no 2nd opinion). I guess part of my gambling is a bit of "grinding" as they say and part of it is "exotic." I really base it on what my opinion of the race is these days.
I will note that often my "win/place" bet on these price horses does fairly well. It is often a sign of confidence when I'm just betting that horse win/place because I refuse to give anything away to failed exotic wagers.
