Chrome Prince,

Thanks for all that figurin' [that sort of stuff makes my head spin!]. I have checked my books and the figures are correct. I am profiting more than normal but probably because I'm puting more effort into the form as I'm now relying on one Horse!

I don't record finishing position if I loose. I copy all bets into a hard book from my on screen betting account once a week because I don't have many bets [no recording of placings if I loose], but my horses regularly place [thats why the betting statergy change].

I don't use a progressive staking system but my bet size fluctuates depending on how large an overlay I believe is on offer. Basicly the larger the overlay, the larger the bet. 50% of those profit figures you worked out are from bets with more than ten unit wagered [if that helps].My average win is usualy about 3.50/6.00, but I get some big payouts on what I consider large overlays [usualy mid-week or Sun. and often provincial] that distort averages. I don't think you could call that betting style progressive as I don't chase loses with bigger bets.

Does that throw calculations to the wind? 70% 0f my bets would be 10 unit bets and another 20% would be 20 units and 10% range from 30 to 100 units if that helps things?
Somthing like that anyway.
Was Ok with the "unit" until I tried to use %. Anyway, MOST of my bets are ten units [God I hate Maths past addition and subtraction].

Cheers.
