Win versus Place Markets
Question Time
Say for example we are wanting to develop a system that has an average divi of $1.70.
First thing would be that you would immediately think of place betting. However, we are constantly
told that place betting at the TAB's is not a good way to bet, and that teh odds on offer are
in general not a true reflection of its chance of placing. On the other hand, we are told that the
Win markets are a very accurate representation of a horses chances of winning.
So going back to the orginal scenario, if you were targetting a $1.70 av divi, is it better to develop
a method which focuses on backing one horse for a place? Or targetting 2-3 horses in the win market to
return a similiar dividend? (ie. dutch betting)
Would I be right to assume that targetting the 2-3 horses and dutch betting them would be the most
efficient way to achive the long term $1.70 divi?
