Boy, everyone knows here I am a win only man mostly. However, I'm a bit intrigued by efforts to bet the place and make a profit. Not so easy considering the SR required to beat the place due to odds paid.

Obviously the best place [no pun intended] to look is at the reasonable shorties as they seem to pay up to 50+% of the win price often enough to maybe make a go of it.I came up with a little bit of a system as guidance plus a bit of race reading, so lets see how we go for awhile. Concentrates on 1st to 4th PP favorites. Maximizing odds is definitely the go, so AIS is my preferred bet site [anyone know a better one for place bets?].

The system guidence is: I ignore all maidens, 2yr. olds, Cups, Stakes and Special event races and below C2. Distances between 1100m and 2050m on good tracks only [PP is for good tracks only]. First and second uppers are ignored as are 57+kg. carriers except on Sat. [57 1/2 kg. is OK] after claims.
Everything else is race reading with a 'yes' or 'no' bet.


Today I had 4 selections. 2 of them have already run with 2 to go in WA.

Place only-

Albury:
R5/6 Paint box [unp]
R8/7 Coolroom Candidate [W$4/$2 STAB and $2.07 AIS where I placed my bets].
York:
R6/4 Under Attack
R7/7 Old Value

Outlay 4 units.
