I think it's a good bet for the beginner/casual fan to keep them in the game, and stretch their bankroll.
I've noticed that when I attend the races with newbies or the "2-3 times a year crowd" they tend to bet small (like $4 a race, usually to place or show  ). |
I have heard it called the "inexacta" more than once.
I like it as a wager - play it periodically with UK/Hong Kong with decent results. I agree that it would be one that may be "newbie" friendly. Take your date to the track, you each pick a horse in the race, and play the omni/swinger.
