What to do in this situation

[thorns]

I am currently running a number of lay systems, and a few back systems. What is the best thing to do when a horse is selected by both teh lay and back system? Do you simply bypass the race/horse? Or would you back and lay it, as the systems are seperate?

[AngryPixie]

You don't change anything. Back and lay for each of the systems. As soon as you start dropping selections out for non-system reasons, you're not being systematic ;)

That's a ticklish one.

If you don't want to both bet and lay I suppose you can follow the more successful of the two systems.

Maybe the Bet system as I assume there is more money to be made and less to lose?

I feel it would depend if one is stopping at the first success or not.

If one is targeting a number of successes before stopping for the day , I would bet both ,because they are being bet as separate entities to one another.

One thing I would not do is double up on a horse where 2 or more systems have the same selection say to win.
e.g. If selected twice does not mean it has twice as much chance of winning , so just treat it as a single bet.
