Hi

I'm macking around with a selection system and now I'm stuck. Stuck with what selection to choose. 80% of 1st, 2nd & 3rd place actually fall in the top 5 selections.

Can anyone please suggest what would be a suitable staking plan or similar? So far selections 2,3&5 are the best. It'll be ok to play all 5 selections but I don't think that it's a good idea.

Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks.

Not a good system Kemosabe. you will end up odds-on! Try 2 for a win and a 2,2,2,3,4,5,8,12,17,24,36 Stop and start again betting system. Not my staking, but I've read it here and it's a goody. Think it's called the 9/4 System.
My thoughts are: If you have an ability to pick horses, then any staking plan will see you through. If you can't select horses, then you are dead meat mate, regardless of staking plans [Even though I am a "flat earth" staker myself].

Cheers.

I am confused with what you are trying to do...are you intending to bet for a win on multiple selections...if so...take your top 3 bet them level stakes....as long as you are not getting to maney odds on runners you should be ok

'Onya Shaun, you got the numbers!

Back all selections that are paying more than whats shown in the newspaper price line.

You will be amazed at some of the value to be had if there are a few good divs amongst your selections .

Try & target races where you feel the Fav has a solid chance of loosing.

Only target race where the fav is $3.00 or more

Old crafty, you got the "numbers too"!

What I ment, is target your 5 selections that are paying more than the newspaper odds not the whole dam feild!

***_The 9/4 SATKING PLAN_***

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BREAK EVEN EVERY TIME YOU BACK A WINNER AT 9/4,OR ABOVE, AND SHOW PROFIT ON ALL WINNERS WHO GET HOME AT MORE THAN THAT PRICE?
YOU ADOPT A PROGRESSIVE STAKING APPROACH AS FOLLOWS
2-2-2-3-4-5-8-12-17-24 AND 36 UNITS
A UNIT CAN BE ANY AMOUNT YOU LIKE. IF YOU HAD 11 SUCCESSIVE LOSSES YOU WOULD LOSE 115 UNITS. A WINNER AT ANY STAGE WILL RECOUP ALL LOSSES AND YOU WILL GET A PROFIT WITH A WINNER AT 5/2 AND ABOVE.
IF YOU BACK A WINNER AT LOWER THAN 9/4 YOU SIMPLY REPEAT THE STAKE INVESTED FOR THE NEXT BET. WHENEVER YOU GET INTO A PROFIT SITUATION OF TWO UNITS OR MORE, YOU GO BACK AND START A NEW SERIES.
IF YOU DO STRIKE 11 LOSSES IN A ROW, START A NEW SERIES. MY ADVICE, THOUGH, IS THAT IF YOU GO FIVE STRAIGHT LOSSES AT ANY ONE TIME, NO MATTER WHERE IN PROGRESSION, YOU SHOULD RULE OFF AND START A NEW SERIES.
THIS IS A GOOD METHOD FOR BETTING SOUND,SENSIBLE SELECTIONS. NOT WILD LONG SHOTS! STICK TO ONE OR TWO BETS A DAY AND MAKE THEM SOLID SELECTIONS

The 9/4 staking plan is fine providing those 9/4 shots show a LEVEL stakes profit - otherwise you'll end up in the soup!

Thanks for noticing the light error C P.
It'meant to be 9/4 or better.
