michaelg, I've been place betting sucessfully for quite a few years and have had runs of 20+ several times and an overall S/R 80%+, (for a small % profit) but most of my bets are Metro Wed& mainly Sat. I've never been able to make it pay Weekdays (all racing) so you are doing particularly well in my opinion.

One thing though, you MUST change to "best tote" makes all the difference. As I said elswhere there is a new player now offering Best Tote or 1/4 SP odds (the place) whichever is higher.
