We have just explained our main Never Again Plan. But it always seems that there are people who need more action. So here it is! The percentages will not be quite as good but there are still enough winners.
There are times that your 2 low groups are not 4 or more points apart such as in the example that was previously used where Group 1 was 13 and Group 2 was 14. In these instances, take the lowest morning line odds number of the lowest group and the lowest morning line odds number of the second lowest group and play both of these horses to win. That's all there is to it.
Again referring to the Santa Anita race above, the 2 low morning line odds number of Group 1 was #1 at 6-1 and #4 at 7-1. The lowest odds number was therefore #1. The 2 lowest morning line odds number of Group 2 was #2 at 8-1 and #7 at 6-1. Therefore, #7 was the lowest morning line odds number of that group. In this example, you would play both #1 and #7 both to win. It's that easy, and by the way #1 won the race and paid $20.20. Follow our Money Management Plan for investing in races that fall under the Never Again Plan 2.
SPECIAL NOTE 1
As was mentioned earlier the Special Group which consists of #5 and #6 have separate rules then the other groups. The #5 and #6 are never to be used as your second low group. They are only to be used as a win play when they total 5 points or more less than the other 3 groups. This will be explained in the following section "Special Factor Numbers".
SPECIAL NOTE 2
A) In the event that Group 1,2 and 3 come up with an exact tie, in other words when the two low odds numbers added together are an exact tie in all 3 groups, you must pass the race.
B) From time to time, your lowest group by 4 points or more may have 1 low morning line odds number and the next 2 low morning line odds numbers in the same group are tied and you are trying to identify which numbers to play for your 2 win plays. Example - #1 is 4-1 , #4 and #10 are both 8-1. If you are supposed to use one of the numbers that is tied for your win plays, pass the race. This won't occur very often, but it is advisable not to try to separate ties.
C) Also pass the race, if both of your win plays have actual odds on the tote board at the racetrack of being very low, such as 8/5 and 2-1. However, if you had an even money (1-1) and a 12-1 as the actual odds of your 2 win plays, you would play them both because of the return that could be received if the 12-1 were to win.
D) Whenever, the #1 horse is a late scratch in a race it becomes a pass race. Also if one of your win Plays becomes a late scratch, the race is to be passed as well.
E) There are times when you will be working with 2 groups that are within 4 points in Never Again Plan 2. And sometimes the 2 low morning line odds numbers in each of the 2 low groups will be too close together.
Here's an example. Group 1 is the lowest group and they total 9.5 and Group 2 is the second lowest group and they total 9. The 2 lowest morning line odds numbers in Group 1 are 9/2 and 5-1, and in Group 2 which is only .5 point apart, the 2 lowest morning line odds numbers are 5-1 and 4-1. As you can see, if we took the low morning line odds in each of the 2 groups, the 2 remaining numbers have odds that are practically the same as the two that we would normally use. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, as was mentioned either pass the race or play the exacta if the odds allow.
Another example is when 2 of the groups are close together and you are supposed to play just one number from each group and the lowest morning line odds in one of the 2 groups to be played is separated by only a .5, such as 9/2 and 5-1. Pass the race because the odds are so close in one group or play a 4 horse exacta box if the odds allow.
Both of the above examples are brought out when you have 2 groups that are tied or total only a .5 or a 1 point difference. It could happen with a larger separation between both groups, but not usually.
To sum up the above, all that we are trying to say is that when you must pick a number from 2 separate groups as a win play, be sure that the second lowest odds number in either of those groups is not within .5 of the lowest odds number in it's own group. Also we are trying to make you aware of the fact, that if all 4 odds numbers (the 2 lowest of each of the 2 low groups) are sometimes almost equal that this is a risky play.
If the win play is coming from just one group, because the group totals 4 points or more less than the second lowest group, and the 2 odds are very close it doesn't matter, because you are playing both horses to win anyway.
Other than the Special Factor Numbers that follow, this is the complete explanation of the Never Again Plan and should not be altered or changed other than the rules of the Special Factor Numbers.
SPECIAL FACTOR NUMBERS
There are 4 types of Special Factors Numbers that will appear from time to time and they must be given special consideration.
The first one which is the one that even receives additional consideration over the other 2 is the #5 and #6.
Whenever the Morning Line Odds numbers of #5 and #6 both add up to a total of 11 or less they are to be treated as follows.
A) If they are your lowest group of numbers by 5 points or more, both of them are to be played to win and also played in an exacta box along with the Lowest Odds of the lowest regular group.
B) If the numbers 5 and 6 are listed at odds in the morning line at 5-1 or less, these numbers become Special Factor Numbers.
If only one of the 5 or 6 is 5-1 or less only one of them is a Special Factor number. Therefore if #5 is 5-1 and #6 is 10-1, #5 is considered a Special Factor Number.
There are times when forming your 4 groups, that one morning line odds number in a group may be listed at a morning line odds of 7/2 or less and the other odds number of that same group is listed at a morning line odds of 15-1 or higher. When this happens, the number with the low odds (7/2 or less), becomes a Special Factor Number.
Program numbers taking money at the track prior to post time are also numbers that are special factors. This means that any number that has a morning line odds of 10-1 or less that is going off at actual odds that are cut in half or more from the morning line is a Special Factor number.
Anytime there is a morning line odds listed at 9/5 or less and this number is in a group that is not in your group that you are playing, you are to pass the race.
When your win plays are not the 5 or 6 and there are 3 or more special factor numbers in the race, the race should always be passed. Do not play to win against 3 special factor numbers or more.
When you have a Never Again Plan Play (4 points lower than the next group) with one Special Factor number, make your normal 2 horse win play and a 3 horse exacta box with your 2 win plays and your special factor number.
When you have 2 Special Factor numbers, box these 2 numbers in an exacta and put the Special Factor numbers on top of your 2 win plays in an exacta, or play a 4 horse exacta box.
