I saw a study quite a while ago that concluded betting longshots to place was disastrous. I wonder, however, whether net pool pricing and larger spreads between WPS and exotic takeouts (~7% difference between WPS and exacta in California) have changed things. My Dad bets to place a lot. I think it works for him because he's betting primarily for entertainment and cashing is more important to him than ROI.
