"l agree with you & Usurper that droping the place bets may be the way to go"

It's hard for some punters to do, the nice warm cuddle of a collect for the place is very hard to give up, regardless of the prospective gains in doing so.

It's different again if you are betting more than one horse in a race and hard to justify, but your results will tell you this.

Do what you feel comfortable with.
