Having said that, I always bet $5.00 on ANY runner if it is showing 100/1 or better.
Regrardless of form or my criteria.
However, I do not look for 100/1 shots systematicaly, that does not work. Only on the day if it is not too much trouble.
SIDE BETS !
So far, the side bets, 2500.00 in front on 100/1 longshots over a span of 6 years, betting 5.00 for win.
Last longshot I bet on lost, and I think I have lost on these 100/1 side bets about 4 times this year. That's 20.00 cost,yet I have won only about 6 times betting 100/1's
at 5.00
That's strategy !

Puntz,
That's not strategy - thats incredibly ************ lucky! You should buy yourself a lottery ticket with that luck.
According to my database there have been over 7000 runners in the last year that have started at 100/1 or higher on all 3 tabs. Guess how many winners?
13!
So apparantly you have somehow picked several of those 100/1 winners but avoided the 7000 selections that would have lost - that is incredible luck!
Had you backed all the 7000+ qualifiers at $5 each to win you would have lost $25,000 by now.
