Since when is calling someone a "politician" a deragotary term?
I simply meant you avoided, clouded the issue on the strike rate which was the main point anyway.

That was my original proposition and more or less a throwaway line, since the main issue was about the combined strikerate.
Why did you jump in then and claim, that it can be done?
All this argument could have been avoided.

A balanced book is where the amount on each horse is such that no matter which horse wins, the bookie will get his percentage.
Ask any bookie you know, and they will tell you, it is just not so anymore.
The reason they still winnig because they don't give you the true odds.
And in actual fact when the favored wins they lose quite often, because of the book is not "balanced" ie. not enough money on the rest of the horses.

I am a punter in the traditional sense of the word, not an accountant.
I back my selections for a win or the place if I can get the right price.
And I'm doing very well thank you!

Having to do all that work, watching the prices, laying and backing, I bet you do!
