Here is a method that I find that works as well as anything else out there...

Pull up the Neural site.

Put in ones favorite Neural settings.

Number of runners to target.
6-10 runners, target top 6 horses
11-12..........................7
13-14..........................8
15 only .......................9

No more than 15 runners.

Setting of Neural market percentage.
Allow 1.5pts for each runner & add to 100%
e.g. 12 runners x 1.5 = 18
18 + 100 = 118% market to be set at in the Neural where it defaults to 114%
This is a very powerful way of setting ones market & you wont miss many doing it this way.

Run you cursor over the factory default setting of 114% & change it to your market percentage.

Don't forget to press the scratchings button after setting the percentage for that market. (Very important)
Also double check to see that they have not missed any scratchings, if they have , simply untick the box in front of the horses name.

Now bet to your accessed price.
We do this by dividing our accessed price into say 5% of our bank.
e.g. $200 bank @ 5% = $10 this is our base takeout figure.
$10 divided by our accessed price say $3.60 = O/L $2.80

Now do the same thing for your top 6+ runners

The 5% of bank usually allows for 40 outs.

We only bet on the horses which match up to our price or more.

This process works best on all Hcp races where the larger payers tend to appear.

It is best to use Betfair for this process.

Use one of the Betfair betting application tools e.g. Race Trader Pro (FREE) this application can bet to your 5% takeout figure without you having to manually work it out , they call it their Book Maker program.
Another program that works it out for you is Bet IE , this would be my choice for this exercise because it can do many other things.

Another is Fairbot, which is the one I use, cost $133 per year with a 16 day free trial.
Bet amounts have to be done manually for this exercise, which is no big deal.


These tools allow one to bet under the Betfair minimum amount which is what we need when doing multiple betting.

I place the bet out there even if my price required is way over because its amazing how many times I have seen a horse that is showing say $10 blow out to say $16 for only 2 seconds before going back to $10

Its a fun way to bet with some excellent returns on days where the Fav decide not to get up all day.

I find the favs tend to get up less in Hcp events so try & only target races where the word Hcp appears somewhere in the header at the top.
One might have to look up 2-3 places to check that.
If I cant find the word "Hcp" in the race description , I wont bet the race.

Targeting the Hcp events helps to reduce the workload and using the Neurals reduces the workload even more dramatically, rather than doing it manually.

If one wishes to narrow the race volumn down, maybe target races where the pre post fave is $3.50+


I hope this helps you out Mjh.

Cheers.
