Basic Strategy:
1) Close ratings indicate contentious races.
2) Larger gaps between first and second choices indicate a higher probability of the first choice winning.
3) Conversely, a narrow gap between first and second choices indicates a contentious race in which the second, third, or fourth choice is almost as likely to win as the first choice.
4) In many cases--particularly in races where there are relatively narrow gaps in the ratings--the third and fourth choices may be dutched or flat bet to win in every race.
That is a somewhat simplistic explanation, but it should enable you to see the relationship between the ratings and the probable race outcomes.
