Hi Flintstone. That is a good way to make a selectionv for placegetters. I appreciate precision place betting. But a few too many selections in Oz per week for me. During holiday periods when I have time I apply a similar method but I'm seeking three place bets per day, usually a favourite (5 units), a second favourite (3 units) and a longer priced runner (2 units).

My selection method is based on the old "Nines" trick: take the best three of the last four starts, add them together and eliminate runners scoring above nine. In effect, Flintstone, your selections are much the same in that anything worse than 3-3-3 is out.

I also have no qualms about checking selections with the tipsters and commentators. Why not? They have way more time to devote to studying form than I do. If my selection has no backing among the experts I rarely presume that I am right and they are all wrong.

Thanks for the contribution. Good luck in the UK.
