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
