Hi Guys
I’ll clear up a few things first
1) I only bet on 2 selections per race even though I do the ratings for every runner.
2) All races that are selected are done so by computer under a set criteria devised by myself
3) I bet the same amount on both horses no matter what price they are, I don’t have a target figure to win per race as in “Dutch betting”.
4) I bet to win only and not each way.
5) Last but by no means least I use a staking plan.
What I have tried to do is take the human element out and the above criteria will do most of that for me.
They are the 5 simple rules I follow. The first two are simple enough, the 3rd is purely greed, as if the longer priced runner gets up I want to have as much on it as possible.
The 4th is simple; I do not believe it is viable or sensible to back 2 horses for the place in the same race, just my opinion.
The 5th again is simple; a good “staking plan” is worth its weight in gold. It controls how you bet, keeps records of your bets and again takes out the human element.
Most people will tell you that level stakes is the way to go, I prefer a staking plan but it’s a personal choice.
I don’t believe that you can compare them against each other because they are two different “animals” so to speak.
What I can tell you is that neither one will make you money if you don’t pick winners.
I hope this helps
