I only brought up my quiry about Dutch betting as this is my first serious experiment with it involving more that two horses and was unclear about various aspects of Dutch stategy.Usualy I just bet level stakes on one or two horses for the win [depending on field size and odds], but sometimes 1 x 2 savers, so that was my interest in the Dutch. Because of it's importance, any meaningful betting statergy is worth looking into. Picking winners seems to be only the first and by no means the last step, in profitable punting. The more I learn about this game, the more I realise how little I know and that after a long time involved.

Thanks everybody for the various and interesting imput and Bhagwan for the e/m and astute advice.

Interesting...your point about odds on versus a Dutch that takes one into that area Becareful. I've fell into that hole several times now using Dutch...the "Murphy's Law" phenomen I think it's called.
