If any one wants a copy of a Dutch betting program which has all 3 versions ,(bet a set outlay , bet to a fixed return of profit, bet to return a fixed amount,) just email me .
If you need to treat one of the shorter horses as a saver , simply add 1,2 or 3 points to its original price.
Its usually a good idea to keep your outlay equivalent or greater, to profit return , otherwise you are falling into the old trap of betting odds on , which is to be avoided as much as possible.
One method I find works well is to target races where there is a Fav paying $2.20-2.90
Use him as a saver with one or 2 others to win.
I`m making the assumption that there should be value for the other 2 if the Fav gets rolled , which they do ,50%+ of the time.
If the strong Fav gets up you have covered you bet.
It will take patience ,because frustration can set in when the favs sometimes get up 5 times in a row , "but that`s puntin" & if one is prone to getting upset , they should`nt be be puntin.
I prefer fields of 13 & less ,so as to try & minimise the chance of interferance & bad luck in the running.
