Let’s kick things off with Ron Raymond’s favorite horse betting system, the “Double Dutch.” This ingenious system allows you to bet on a horse to win and/or place in the race. If your chosen steed comes in second, there’s still a chance to get your money back, depending on the odds. Talk about a win-win, or should we say, win-place situation!
