Re(2): #87 - Are the two best teams automatically a good Q-bet?

from what i observe, my two top choices almost never come out as the Quiniela

Let's hypothesize a couple of things.

A - the existence of "win-only" teams or players

B - a higher than random number of them among "the best"

By "win-only" I mean a strong tendency to come thru all the way or do nothing. Kind of like a volcano.

With this perspective, you can see that if your handicapping or judgement of the best teams is good, you will automatically be homing in on many w-o teams. Most of the time only one of them will kick in. Your chances of hitting the Q will go down considerably.

You would be better off getting 2 exacta's with your key teams on top and a good place candidate on the bottom.

Bottom line is that an unimpressive Q hit rate for your top 2 selections is not necessarily a bad thing.
