Since when is calling someone a "politician" a deragotary term?
I simply meant you avoided, clouded the issue on the strike rate which was the main point anyway.

I said it was a rhetorical question.
I am not interested, not may way of punting.

That was my original proposition and more or less a throwaway line, since the main issue was about the combined strikerate.
Why did you jump in then and claim, that it can be done?
All this argument could have been avoided.

A balanced book is where the amount on each horse is such that no matter which horse wins, the bookie will get his percentage.
Ask any bookie you know, and they will tell you, it is just not so anymore.
The reason they still winnig because they don't give you the true odds.
And in actual fact when the favored wins they lose quite often, because of the book is not "balanced" ie. not enough money on the rest of the horses.

I am a punter in the traditional sense of the word, not an accountant.
I back my selections for a win or the place if I can get the right price.
And I'm doing very well thank you!

Having to do all that work, watching the prices, laying and backing, I bet you do!

Mmm well anyway ...

Two in-running lays from last night:

STH_1510 Pappas Image (3rd @ SP 33/1) layed at $4.70

LUD_1530 Dakota Boy (UNP @ SP 50/1) layed at $6.20

I have just read that thread and that is two minutes of my life that I cannot get back.
I am giddy from going round in circles, did either antagonist get what the other was saying anytime.
Lets get some humour back boys.

Well done Angry Pixie.
You are a smart smart man.
From what you've posted, you've realised not one, but two angles and why it will be a huge longterm winner.

Sorry about your two minutes Top Rank.

My instinct told me to leave the matter alone after the first reply, but got frustrated by the sideways response, that avoided my main point.

I see he is still at it, "not getting it, as it were".

Not surprised really.
What has numbercrunching on BF to do with real punting anyway?

Sorry everyone, won't take any of your time in the future.
Cheers
