Reverse Dutch Book

[Bhagwan]

Heres a plan that has it`s good moments.

Grab 2 Mules you recon can win
Say one is paying 3.00 the other is paying $7.00 & say your O/L $50
Divide the price of each Mule into the $50
1st horse=$17
2nd horse=$7

Now we reverse the outlay on the 2, this now becomes.
1st horse=$7 if it wins Ret $21
2nd horse=$17 if it wins Ret $119
Total O/L $24

This can work if our 2nd selection has a bit of odds about it.

Easier to simply reverse the odds into dollars,Bhagwan.So, Horse 1 paying 3.00
Horse 2 paying 7.00
Put 7.00 on 1,& 3.00 on horse 2.Gives an even payout on both.

The correct way is to assign a proportion of the $50 outlay,corresponding to the chance you give the horses,regardless of the odds on offer.
If you can't split the two runners,bet $25 on each.
If you fancy the shorter one a bit more,put more on it and less on the rougher one.And vice versa.
But if after deciding how much to invest on each horse,you find that one will not return a profit overall,leave that wager in your pocket.

Very good Que ,

What my plan is attemting to do is make the larger priced Mule pay more than than the first selection.

Sorry Bhagwan, that's why I read these posts ,to learn and interact with more experienced punters. Wasn't being smart, just stupid.

[moeee]

Well if I can't have it my way,then I'd rather join the Que.

Que.I am going to read some of your stuff.
You sound like a very knowledgable and intelligent person.Don't you dare call yourself stupid again!
