Is flexibetting worthwhile?
With Flexi betting now being introduced to Victorian tote pools such as trifecta and first four betting pools, betting these multiples correctly becomes even more important. For starters, let us get rid of the fallacy made by amateur punters that in a field of eight “The Professionals” take the $2.00 favourite to win and place in every trifecta combination possible. That is an absolute nonsense. They wouldn’t be professionals for very long if they did that, because the unders are abysmal. It’s thousands of small time punters who stand out short priced favourites in those sorts of fields, because they bet trifectas to get a collect every race. Sure, they get plenty of collects, but they are guaranteed long term losers because of the amount they outlay to get those collects. This does not change with Flexi betting. In fact, for many punters Flexi betting is an outright trap. Because it costs no more to take out multiple trifecta combinations, they will do so. But it’s absolutely useless
