G'Day Crashy boy, !st thanks for reminding me about our little "competition" hahahah, NOT, though at least I conceded defeat in an acceptable way (even though you jagged it with longshots)

2nd, wasn't it some pitsburg someone or other that said pick em to win but back em for the place? well funny thing is how many of my place bets finish 4th, I kid you not it is beyond belief!!!

3rd,yes of course the DIVI, well I'm gonna upset you here cos I don't like "at least bets of 2 totes", ........ say you have $1.10c, $1.20c and $1.70c, they pay you $1.21c, nah,..... boollsheet.

Presuming you are betting Metro, Sportsbet pay BEST OF 3 TOTES, has to be the way to go.

But to get another edge, say you have a method that at least breaks even for the win, THEN you could use Sportingsbet Maxi Divi betting EW, the reasoning that you will be paid BEST OF 3 totes OR SP for the win portion (a lost leader so to speak) but this avails best of 3 totes OR 1/4 SP odds whichever is greater.for the place portion.

Clarify that, you will be paid best of 3 totes OR 1/4 SP odds whichever is greater. eg totes, $1.30, $1.50, $1.60, SP $4.20c(the win) so you would be paid $1.80c for the place portion, a definite advantage.

Mind you I'm told that there is other ways to bet for the place that are even more advantageous, but as yet I havent been able to explore.
