    Lots of threads on the Martingale - Here's the best one and I've tried it
    read this on a racing forum 5-6 yrs ago , tried it several times where the surf meets the turf never lost $$

    watch the board and bet the closing fav to Show , if you collect start over , if you lose Martingale , start over from the beginning when you cash

                              it is but like any martingale it can get hairy. going to Del Mar is a treat unto itself !

                                  Calculate what exactly?

                                  Martingale these bets and you'll rarely lose. There's no question about that.

                                  But that doesn't magically make this system +EV.

                                          I agree , let me see if my thinking is correct.

                                          because of the track's take from the Show pool every single Show bet is -EV. regardless how one does it no way to turn any series of -EVs into a +EV

                                                  You got it.

                                                  If your show bets are -EV there's no possible way to structure your wagers so as to turn net a +EV betting system.
