So our play is #1 and #4 to win which are the lowest odds numbers of the group. However, we have a special factor number #6 in the race. There was a late scratch of the #5 so we played a 3 horse exacta box along with our 2 horses to win.

We won only the exacta 6-1 which Paid $33.60. This was a regular Never Again Plan plan.

The group totals were group 1 - 20, group 2 - 33, group 3 - 17, special group - 9.5. The race only had 8 numbers with 9 horses, because there is an entry of #1 and #la. Whenever there is an entry you only use the odds of the number once. Thus 8 numbers. The rules state that the special group #5 and #6 are both played to win since it was 5 points lower than the other groups.

#5 won and paid $9.40. The exacta play would be #5 and #6 and #8 boxed because #8 is the lowest odds of the lowest group - group 3. Please take note that #2 in group 2 is 3-1 with #7 in that group being 30-1. This makes #2 a special factor number. Since we have a special factor number, we must include it in the exacta box with #5, #6 and #8.

The exacta ran 5-2 and paid $35.60. Please make note of the special factor number #2. This example will come up often and should be applied as was explained. This is a regular Never Again Plan plan.

The Never Again Plan as you can see is a very simple method of bringing out potential winners. In fact, in the 5 days used as examples, the wins were at 75 %.

The Never Again Plan 2 is also very strong, but as suggested in your money management area, you should test the market before jumping in.

Good Luck and have many trips to the cashiers window.
