Hi, Thorns.

We are more or less on the same page when it comes to selecting the bettable races.

I originally had quinellas in mind, because after testing many previous methods where I box multiple selections I realised that in every one of them that quinellas in the long term outperformed trifectas. Maybe its due to the lesser commission by the TAB on quinellas or maybe the impact of flexi betting on trifectas, or even both? But whatever the reason(s) it soon became apparant that quinellas was the way to go.

When I began my current selection method (without real betting) I only recorded the quinella results as I was looking for qualifying races where I expected high quinella divvies. I had little interest in Win or trifecta betting, but soon realised that there was a very good strike rate for both (it is striking one in every two trifectas) with surprisingly good divvies. So when I began betting with real money I included both. Also, previous systems I have worked on showed it was better to omit the fave in Win when betting on the TAB, which I am doing.

What I'm really getting at is even though our selection process is different, have you considered boxing your selections in quinellas because I will be surprised if my quinellas eventually do not outperform my Win and trifecta results. If you have records of your betting selections you might check them to see how quinellas have fared?
