Thanks Glen and Sportz..cant keep away from the exotics...unfortunately the others did not come thru...lol but not to worry Im no longer a big spender-so happy with half of $198.40 for trifecta...

FYI, I have been blackbooking horses since the beginning of last year with varying results but once I started being specific with my comments such as distance, rider, track etc...started picking best chances for better strike rate and returns...might be even more selective with my picks...I note 'Im No Square' won (one of my picks) but I was too late to offer it...2 hour time delay from over east Sportz is a pain.

WA TAB doesnt offer any 2 bets, Sportz but that sounds like the kind of option that suits me and my picks...taken with the favourite could return some nice divvies...where is this option available? Really like the concept!

Desi,

Unitab have 'Any2' bets and Tabcorp has the 'Duet' which is basically the same thing. I'd suggest all TABs will probably have something like it soon.

These were the 'field' Any2 bets I had today:

IPSW R7-4 Jaegers/Field (Out $11, In $42.80)
RAND R3-3 I'm No Square/Field (Out $8, In $6.70)
SAND R5-8 Hurricane Gust/Field (Out $10, In $10.70)
SAND R8-3 Willie Command/Field (Out $9, In $28.30)
STRA R1-8 Euphemia/Field (Out $13, In $39.50)

Total: Out $51, In $128.00

As you can see, it doesn't work out well in every race. In I'm No Square's race, I actually lost money and in Hurricane Gust's race, I only made 70cents. The other 3 races more than made up for it. Remember, to win this bet, all you have to do is pick a placegetter, but you can often get back quite a bit more than the place dividend. For example, today, if I had simply put the corresponding $ amounts on each of those 5 horses for a place, I would have got back just $70.10 for my $51. That's a BIG difference.

Thanks Sportz...not sure about registering with the other TABS but like the idea of the Any 2 bet because I like finding sound but value place bets.

Today Im looking at favourite R4 Graciously (9) at Cranbourne short priced favourite to beat (2) and (5) which I will probably box...and Race 8 Trifecta 50c (5) Curtain Twitcher (10) Cape Belle and (2) Kingston Bird for 1st and 2nd with the field for 3rd (which would be a good Any 2 bet)...lol

Good luck Andy, Sportz sorry re late entry...and if you bet on Kiwi races No (9) Danzig Race 8 back on a wet track to beat No (10) Linda Cropp's ride Misaki...

Ouch...got my butt kicked today but its a good learning thing for me cos theres a certain accountibility taken on board when posting so I reckon that Im going to cut it down to the strongest prospects and betting every day for me has been a losing strategy lol...

Tomorrow is another day...,hope you had good wins Sportz and Glen...

Hey Glen and SPortz...got in early today I hope lol...am focussing on Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays...as you know I like the exotics and so am always looking for potential races to win on...love to get ANY 2 bets Sportz- have provided EW tips that you might use...will just have to wait for WATAB to catch up. Anyway, lets see how these go..

Desi,

They look okay. I agree with a few of those. I thought For You Dad might be good value, but it's currently showing just $2.20. I also like Lady Briony. A few others I'm considering are Werribee 2-9, Taree 8-2 and Rockhampton 6-2. Basically though I'm more concentrating on tomorrow's races.

Are you Glenn's brother? :D

Glenn, I haven't studied today's races much and I'm not really confident, but here's a few to think about.

ROCK R3 - 1 GENERATOR, 5 She's Decent, 6 Town Player (1,5,6 - 4,3,2)
ROCK R6 - 2 ORRONG, 9 Rosielee Miss, 1 Bourverie's Jest (2,9,1 - 5,3)
ROCK R8 - 1 DON'T MUKAROUND, 3 Awesome Edge, 4 Mr Ballistic (1,3,4 - 7,5,2)
TAREE R3 - 6 MORE MONEY HONEY, 11 Maharan Marscay, 10 Trentessa (6,11,10 - 1,3,7)
TAREE R7 - 6 CHRISTIE LEE, 12 Gunzeal, 1 Nasrulla King (6,12,1 - 7,2,5)
TAREE R8 - 2 CORIOLIS, 4 Essvanir, 1 Under Lights (2,4,1 - 6,9,14)

Ah, the rum made me do it.

Thanks,


Glenn (has no brothers)

Nice Win............
