Anyone who can select 8 out of 10 doesn't need such a fanciful method to place bets surely?


Anyone who can't get 8 out of 10 placings better start contemplating whether they are serious about winning!!! remember the average div was $1.30 meaning the majority were favourites if not second favourites.

Considering favourites place around 60% - 70% of the time its not to difficult to have a 80%SR considering you can choose the races to play the favourites in.

Why not back each selection e/w as approx. 1/3rd of them should win and that is a great strike rate of winners as cream on the top?


Once again considering that the selections are favourites or close to the divs would range anywhere from around $1.50 - $3.00 for the win. Taking $3.00 as the winner for every race and a strike rate of 33% you would get $99 back from $100.

Strike rates mean nothing compared to POT.
