I remember reading in "Winning More' by the late Don Scott advising punters to bet E/W if 7/2 ( $4.50 ) or under.
I know its strictly not just PLACE betting but one should take note of this late Master of the Punt.

Hey. there,s a system in that somewhere.

My hats off to any punter that can make a quid straight PLACE betting.

Cheers.
