Puntz,

Not sure if I get your drift. What you say about betting 12 horses [Dutch] in a 12 horse race and the bookies winning is mathematicaly true, but who would ever do that? Selective choice comes into this [I hope]and any race having more than four horses that could win, I treat as an unbackable race and move on.Don't you?

As for Bookies winning all the time,well in the days of lots of punters throwing money at them, yes, I would agree, but now they regularly loose. Not overall [but nowdays, more often than punters think, especialy at provincials where their "book" on a race isn't covered]. It's those loosing races that you should be "on" in. Take any card where a lot of favorites win and it's the pie stall and bus stop for them!
