10+ bets a day ?
Every race ?

Personally I think you need the following :

1 bet a day - 40%
2-5 bets a day - 33%
5-10 bets a day - 25%
10+ bets a day - 20%
Every race - 20%

Any thoughts ?

Good Luck.
I am currently having 2-5 bets per day (well i was until EI) and over the last few months have averaged 35% s/r @ 4.36 for one method, and 34% s/r @ 5.71 with another method. So that is very close to what you are suggesting. Average winning dividend must come in to consideration or the strike rate is completely irrelevent.....
