Okay, so here it is....

Not sure what it will do for you though.

As a test, I picked a random race from today and came up with Townsville race 4

I then selected 7 horses at random and ran them through this spreadsheet.

Outlay $511 - Return $1693.60 Mmmmmm....

Great work.

Hi Everyone, thanks for the response. Chiller and zlotti , I would love to see what you both have. My email address, if you can't post it here, is yesmelb@email.com Thanks

Interesting read. In your first post Good 4th where do you get the line "cost to win $100= $46"? Can you please explain this. Thanks

Good point...Cost to win

This is how much you have to invest to return $146.00
Cost = $46.00
Target to Win = $100.00
Included in the cost is saver bets.
So it wont mater which combo wins (so long as as they do ) you stand to return $146.00

You dutch your selections to cover each other and to also return a profit.

Look for a dutching program in this forum, add the odds together, put the odds in the program and see how much it will all cost verses the set return.

Look its all a bit of fun and if it worked all day every day i would'nt have to worry to much.
Its so hard to pick the winner let alone a quinnella. ( Quinns pay well )

The thing is, be creative with mixing things together in all sorts of weird ways and maybe it might work. ( Ive yet to find any commom thread )

Zlotti you master !
 

I had a look at your spreadsheet, 10 hours, !
mate well done, i took about three weeks to try and build a dutch betting sheet for four runners, any loss would carry onto next bet and the programme would tell me what i needed to outlay to STILL return the old majic $100, still use it but one must understand it to use it, i wont post it cause it aint a shaddow of your work. I use it on a phone which flips out (wont mention names) LIKE a computer!, any way well done!
Cheers dingo

Hi again everyone, To work out the approx div of a quinella instead of adding the prices you can do it this way, its not far off the mark. Whatever the winner pays for the win multiply it by 4. If the 2nd horse pays evens then thats the approx div.
examples
.Winner pays 6.00 2nd horse pays 2..a place. quin div approx 24.00
winner pays 6.00 2nd horse pays 1.50 place. quin div approx 12.00
winner pays 6.00 2nd horse pays 3.00 place quin div approx 48.00

Dimboola,
Sent that info. off to you on Thursday ( I think) and asked for a receipt for the email. Hadn't heard back, have you managed to check that email address
Chiller.

And if the 2nd horse doesn't pay evens? You have explained your first winner, how did you come up with 2 and 3?

Check out some div from past races and you'll see the pattern. Its not 100%, but it gives approx. If the 2nd horse doesn't pay evens and pays $1.50 you halve the div. Winner pays 6.00, 2nd pays 2.00. approx quin ( mult by 4, 6x4) 24.00
winner pays 6.00 2nd pays 1.50. approx quin 12.00
winner pays 6.00 2nd pays 3.00 approx div 36.00

winner pays 10.00 2nd pays 2.00 approx div 40.00
winner pays 10.00 2nd pays 1.50 approx div 20.00
winner pays 10.00 2nd pays 3.00 approx div 80.00


check past results, you'll see a pattern. Happy punting
