FRIDAY

Pakenham R8

#2 Classic Secret
#3 Laird's Bounty
#6 Rocky Le Beau

Hi E.I.

Thanks for your many posts. Make interesting reading! I appreciate this topic too, as I believe there are many opportunities to be found in the ordinary mid-week races.

You seem to be judging the success or otherwise of this topic by treating all three suggestions equally. In other words, betting on all three for a win. I, personally, like this way of gambling on the ponies because you have three running for you and your money. And anything can and does happen in a race (as we all are aware).

The down side, of course, is that two are going to not win!! This dilutes the return markedly unless a longshot gets up.

Does anyone have a good way of betting, and progressing your betting, when you are backing more than one horse in a particular race?

I understand about 'Dutch' betting; but that is not really the answer to my question.

Any ideas??? :???:

Hi Merriguy,

Actually you are right in regards to you have to have two losers and that dutching is not really the answer here.

I am looking at the top three rated runners (by me) in the race and if you were to follow the tips, you would back the value runners.
E.g. The $1.60 winner was obviously no value, but the $8.80 winner was over the odds, in my opinion.

Also I am keeping track of the quinella factor as this can increase POT and it's happening quite regularly (in other scenarios) that at least two out of three run the place.

So what I am trying to achieve is win bets on value runners, and good odds on quinella bets.

Thanks for your input.

Seriously EI, you are going well with this thread, seems you should have posted something yesterday after all :wink:

OOPS!

Sorry everyone it was an honest mistake.

I did the fields for Tuesday but looked at Monday's field by accident.

We won't count it!

Apologies.

WEDNESDAY

Rosehill

Race 6

#3 - Star Of The Seas
#4 - Minelli
#6 - Telescopic

(apologies for yesterday's ballsup :sad: ).

[ This Message was edited by: Equine Investor on 2002-12-17 23:18 ]

Like your chances EI, especially Minelli. Would also include #7 Alfayn for the multiples. Good luck.

After scratchings you only have 1 runner (Star Of The Seas) EI.

Good Luck.

That's a lot of weight to carry for my selection! :wink:

Replace scratchings with -

#1 - Heeby Reiby
#2 - Terrible Taurus

I cant see why Alfayn is so short, seems to only have wet track form..?

Am I missing something ?

Dude.

According to ozhorseracing, summary for Alfayn

This Distance: 3:2-0-1, This Track: 0:0-0-0, Fast: 0:0-0-0, Good: 15:5-2-1, Dead: 5:1-1-1, Slow: 0:0-0-0, Heavy: 1:0-0-0, First Up: 3:0-0-0

Link for more detail

http://www.ozhorseracing.com/racede...18%2F12%2F02#07

Hmm,
Could have sworn when I checked Ozform earlier it stated 0:0-0-0 for Good form. That Form Guide has now gone offline !
I tried Ozhorseracing before Ozform this morning but their form site was down then too !!
Not having much luck.

Anyway, ALFAYN is now scratched.

Grrr
Dude.

:lol:

Seems this race is doomed.
