Betting - Limited wheel

Often the best combination bets is that of the limited wheel. To create a limited wheel a handicapper must look for two things. The first is a key dog and the second is a reduced number of contenders. If there is no key dog then a box bet must be made.

When playing the limited wheel, the key dog must finish first or second in order for you to win. It matters not whether the key dog is a longshot or favourite as long as it outclasses the rest of the field enough to win a race.

In order to prevent the costs of the bet from spiralling out of control you must try to eliminate as many of the dogs from the bet as possible. This is done by analysing the difference in points between the dogs.

The highest number of contenders that you should wheel with your key dog is four. Although this may increase the bet, if there are four true contenders than it still makes sense.

By creating a limited wheel you get the most amount of coverage for the least amount of money. Below is an example of what a limited wheel may look like

Highest rated dog in the race 2
Top 3 contenders 1,4,6

Limited wheel, key dog win 2 (win)
position only 1,4,6 (place)

The number 6 is the key dog and is positioned on top with the three contenders. It must win the race, but any combination of contenders can finish second and the example above illustrates what both the wheel and your ticket would look like.
