ahh! the question of "Value" all things to all men. I mean say a selection is showing $1.50 for the win and $1.20c for the place, there is an argument that is good value for the place, but does that stand up statistically? I mean if we take ALL starters @ $1.50c what % are placed ? if the answer comes up @ less than 85%, there is an argument to say that it is NOT good value as you would lose overall, hee hee! I'm just being naughty here! of course there's a myriad of other parameters that have to looked at as well.

But just for further food for thought , STUGOTS, I also have to place some bet's well b4 racing, so I always use Best Tote, or if the selection is also pre-post fav I take Top Fluc, I seem to get some great "overs" doing that, I would be interested if anyone has actual figures to show a definite advantage?
