Betting on horse racing isn’t just about picking one winner — sometimes it’s about stringing together several. That’s where exotic sequences like Pick 3s, Pick 4s, and Superfectas come in. But blindly boxing horses won’t cut it. At MyWinners, smart players build their tickets like puzzles: balancing risk, coverage, and cost.

Sequence structuring means designing your exotic wagers with intention — deciding when to single a horse, when to spread wide, and how to balance your ticket size against potential payoff.
The goal: Spend smart, not big.
Key concepts for building exotic tickets
Key concepts for building exotic tickets
Single a strong contender when you’re confident
Spread when the race is wide open
Look for value horses others might overlook
Avoid including low-value favourites in every leg
Use A/B/C structuring: A = top picks, B = backups, C = chaos plays
Balance your ticket cost with expected return — don’t chase
Example: Pick 4 Structuring
Example: Pick 4 Structuring
Let’s say your sequence looks like this:
Race 1: Single one horse (A)
Race 2: Use 2 horses (A/B)
Race 3: Go deep with 5 horses (A/B/Cs)
Race 4: Use 2 strong contenders (A/A)
Ticket = 1 x 2 x 5 x 2 = 20 combinations
At $0.50 per combo = $10 total
A smart balance of coverage, confidence, and cost.
Why it works for strategic bettors

Exotic sequences offer big payouts with small bets
Structuring avoids “spray and pray” overbetting
You can build multiple tickets with different themes (value-focused, chalky, etc.)
Small edges in each leg compound into real profit
💡 Did You Know? At the 2023 Breeders’ Cup, a bettor hit a $1 Pick 6 paying over $500,000 — and the ticket only cost $36. Why? Smart structuring, bold singles, and sharp spotting of value.
