Combination Exacta - Tuesday Horse Racing Tips:
For todays combination exacta selections I have worked around my second each way tip - Gavarnie Beau 4.50 Leicester - this selection won just four days ago and at 7/1 represents great each way value. For the other two horses I have put in the favourite, Sunderland Echo, which is also top Massey and Catweasles second dutch bet selection, Peter Island.
To put this on as a tote combination exacta costs 6 times your unit stake, this means that you have 6 possible winning combinations for first and second - that is if any of the three selections are 1st and 2nd you win.
As this is a handicap with more than the minimun 8 runners you could also put the 3 in a combination tricast or tote trifecta if the latter is available on this race.

Gambling Housewife Combination Exacta Explained
In the true nature of a Gambling Housewife my very favourite type of bet is the combination exacta: as it offers potentially huge returns for small stakes - forget that blokey macho attitude that reckons big straight bets show you are a real man is complete cojones to me and probably spread by the bookies themselves to lift their profits. The bigger your stake the more you stand to lose and the more profit goes into the bookies pockets, give me big wins for small stakes anytime!
My daily combination exacta selections consist of 3 horses one of which is usually one of my each way tips for example yesterday my long shot, Partners In Jazz won at 9/1 for a tidy profit but if I had manged to pick the 2nd as well the tote Exacta paid £268.00 to a £1 unit stake - £67 more than the CSF (computer straight forecast) £202.21.
This difference in payout is due to the exacta being a tote pool bet where winning tickets share the prize pool for that particular bet and race while the CSF is calculated on SP (starting prices). The tote slips can be a bit of a pain to do at your local bookies as you have to be carefull filling them in and also check that they have registered correctly - my bookies machine often misses one or more selctions...but the difference in payout makes it more than worthwhile - in the example combination exacta result above you get over £67 more for a few extra seconds filling in the tote exacta slip.
If you bet online then putting on a combination exacta is a doddle, I am aware that the combination exacta bet is avaible on the Tote and Blue Square sites but with a minimum total bet stake of £2 but if you want to use very a small unit stake to start with then that is available on Betfred only - find the link to Betfred for the combination exacta here if you want to try out the exacta with just 5 or 10p unit stakes.
For my daily combi exacta I usually put up 3 selections, using a £1 unit stake it costs £6 total as 3 selections give a possible 6 combination for 1st and 2nd. Rarely I will put up 2 selections only where I can see the race as a true 2 horse race. These may have a higher strike rate but the returns are usually lower hence my preference for more difficult races for my combination exacta selections.
Totesport have a great explanation of the exacta and all other tote pool bets.

Gambling Housewife Free Horse Racing Tips from Best Free Tipsters for UK Horse Races
Gambling Housewife exacta queen makes a comeback with three very profitable weeks: last Fri exacta paid £202.00, Thurs Exacta paid £25.80 which gave a great profit ...
Mon 15th May - Fri five x one point combi exactas cost 30 points, returns 267.70
The previous week I also had two £100 plus exactas up - not half bad as I only select one race to put an exacta bet on each day. So it looks like it may be worth trying to turn this into a fully fledged system by keeping closer track of my selection process to put the rules together about how to win big money for small stakes from exacta bets.

Problem is I seem to be back in limbo land - not the dance - the inertia of depression despite the beautiful spring and a holiday a few weeks away...what can I say...
