Real Deals Trifecta System
 

Guys i have been trialling a system of late with what i consider to be pretty good results.

Here is the criteria. I have to have the hot pot (under $3 normally) as my top pick and normally best bet of the day. The race cannot have more than 12 runners (for financial reasons), and unless i have inside information i will generally leave all country and 2 year old races alone.

Best bet x Field x Field trifecta for .50cents.


I have always been one to hide in the shadows but after this site going down hill (no one posting) lately i am going to start a thread.

Wish me luck boys!

Received a tip on the 6 in the 5th at Ballarat so here we go:

Ballarat Race 5

#6 x Field x Field = $21 for .50c

wont be posting everyday but wil only post these tips in this thread.

Good luck fella...... I'm on !! ;)

Good luck with it.

Mav uses this idea, but he uses it on even larger fields. I would always be worried about the cost with fields bigger than about 10, when your horse HAS to win or else you get nothing.

I think it is a confidence thing....... ;)

Which is exactly why I probably wouldn't be doing it. :o

wish i started this thread yesterday. Got one of my best results to date.

sychophant(i think). Anyway, heard the horse was flying.


Tri paid $550 for $1. only cost $28 as well.

Hi Real Deal!
You mind if I run a test this weekend on past results and post the summary?
Cheers

no problems.

But i do not do it on any old favourite. I have to have the short priced favourite rated on top when i work out the race and also it would be my best bet of the day, i only plan on doing 1, 2 or 3 a day max when at metro tracks. Today is the loop hole cause i got a "tip".

I would be interested to know what happened if i did it to every short priced favourite though.

I didn't hear anything really, but it was a Commands filly trained by Hawkes and ridden by Beadman. What more do you need? :)

Certainly didn't have a trifecta though. Taking the field was just about the only way you could have got it.

Great system you got mate. I'll plunk $1 on this trifecta you got suggested on MR5 at Ballarat.

How much would that cost me?

Good luck to all that has invested. Good luck with your system real deal.

$42 for $1. Favourite backed off the planet.

doh...... always next race....... Geez the fav went well. Toyed with them a little bit... went when needed

Well, it was a very easy trifecta to get, but it paid accordingly. :)

hmmm even if it won and got up (number 6) I think I would of lost money, as the Dividend on WA TAB paid $18.80.

Well we have started off on the wrong foot.

1 selection

-$21.


I am sticking to metro meetings. Stay tuned.

Expectations
 

Real

What are your expectaions for the system, based on your past experience?

I guess if you are betting on a "special" or in some instances a "tip", and also considering field-field strategy, then (IMHO) a strike rate of say 25 - 35% would be acceptable.

Surely a strike rate of around 30% would produce a profit... maybe Marcus's analysis will prove this to be true or otherwise.

Anyway, good luck and welcome to the "Cauldron" that is....."posting" on this Forum

Stix, With regards to past results and expectations i would say its fair to assume that a 50% strike rate is what i am after, Anything as low 33% may still provide a profit but when i'm selecting minimal horses who i think are the best winning chances over the whole card then i am hoping to hit more often than not.

Just 2 today at Flemington.

Race 1 Number 1 Flame of sydney

$20 for $1 unit

Race 2 Number 2 Anais

$20 for $1 unit.

Betting a full unit today due to field sizes.

Interesting thread, guys --- but I can't see you getting any big returns by backing the favourite with the field in races with only six starters :( The maths simply don't work out. The fields have to be bigger; or the standout has to be other than the favourite or near favourite.

Think strike rate is the key...... it has to be.....!!

Granted, larger divy's in larger fields, but strike rate should compensate for that. The reliance on a few roughies to fill the placings is what has to tick it over.... I say good luck and I'm in for the ride..... ;)

Let's be honest, no matter what the facts say-any profit i will be happy with over a fair period of time. I have found barring the massive roughie roughie 2nd and 3rd where it pays quite well that the best results come when it is an even field, even though the favourite still wins-normally you can double or triple your outlay due to a few winning chances.

Guys time will tell, but i am going to try and see this one through till autmns end at least.

Mav will tell you about it. This is the way he bets. Takes his top pick to win from the field and just hopes roughies come home in the placings.

...... and the winner ;)

Should the favourite win these 2 races it will be interesting to compare the exacta dividend with the trifecta dividend.
i.e. the fav./field exacta- $4-00 unit.=$20-00

I'm an exacta man - hence why I opened a UNITAB account (Im a Victorian), where (as I stated elsewhere on this forum) the divys for exacta consitently out perform that of TAB and S-TAB.

Some unbelievable :eek: examples of exacta results:

• 28 Dec Cobram Harness bet was R7 10-2,9,11
  • S-TAB $ 174.1
  • NSW TAB $92.0
  • UNITAB $959.8

• 12 Jan Geelong Harness bet was R8 5-2,6,7
  
  • S-TAB $133.8
  • NSW TAB $158.2
  • UNITAB 419.1

An example of where the exacta outstriped the tri was on:

• 28 Dec Cobram Harness bet was R7 10-2,9,11
• Exacta R7 10-2,9,11 for $1 unit - Cost = $3.00 Return $959.8 ;) POT = 31,993%
• Trifecta R7 10-2,9,11-Field for $1 - Cost = $27 Return $1585.6 POT = 5,872%
• So if you had the exacta 9 times (9 x $3 = $27) the return would of been $8,638.2

• 12 Jan Geelong Harness bet was R8 5-2,6,7
• Exacta R8 5-2,6,7 for $1 unit - Cost = $3.00 Return $419.10 ;) POT = 13,903%
• Trifecta R8 5-2,6,7-Field for $1 - Cost = $24 Return $1830.4 POT = 7,626%
• So if you had the exacta 8 times (8 x $3 = $24) the return would of been $3352.8

And yes I was on the end of these little rippers.... ;)

I too love exactas Stix and have been "lured" in by some similar results to the examples you have given. However I also find (and this is purely anecdotal) that there is just as many (if not more) races where the exacta is a bit disappointing. I sometimes wonder if I would be better just putting the equivalent money into a boxed quinella (i.e. a greater number of units).

I must admit I'm more often suprised by the divy than disappointed... and helped by the fact that UNITAB still out performs the others....

Boxed Quinellas would certainly improve my strike rate which is currently 12.6% to about 28%, but would sacrifice divy return I reckon....... However the av. Div of $69.9 makes up for that and 205% POT soothes any residual worries ;)

Good luck with this selections Real Deal. I'll put a dollar on those as well, they do look good chances.

Best of luck!

Hmmmm. Not the best of starts for my first collect. will post results after next race.

They are nice figures.

Well RD, you managed to get what will probably be the 2 smallest trifectas all day!!! Always the danger in such small fields.

thats the risk i am willing to take. Today only helped the strike rate. hehe.

Outlay $61
Return $24.80
Strike rate: 2/3


Still early days. After a couple more races i will start to post percentages.

I've tried this one heaps of times, even started doing it with the first four whilst i was in Darwin, you get the occasional great result but over all it ended up winning more by just backing the horse to win. If you can get a 50% win strike rate and then find the best odds possible for your investment, surely you should make a profit. Also don't like the mug money aspect some horses simply can't fill a place, like Zenno Goshu tomorow in the Aus Stakes, it costs you an extra $110 with him in and $90 without him, surely he is not worth your hard earned $20.

Good luck Real Deal hope you snag some monster tri's.

Stix, are you standing out your top selection to win in the Exacta's or do you also take it to run 2nd ?

Guys I am taking ebverything on board but i just want to see this one through for a little bit and hopefully prove over some time that it can be profitable.

Todays Bets.

Good stuff real, showing a profit today.

Sorry to disappoint you Stix, I ran the whole gamut of combinations ie. first fav. with the field sec. fav with the field etc. combined with starting prices and number of runners, (like less than $2 and less than 7 runners etc.) and the result is: as I expected, UTTER disaster.
If it only were so easy??
I am sorry but nothing beats rating!
My opinion only of course, so no debate here.
Good luck all.
