Hi, lomaca.

Got your e-mail. I'll answer your five questions here.

1) I include Maidens as they have shown to be profitable.
2) Yes, the minimum is 12 starters.
3) Yes, to be a qualifying race the minimum price of the fave is $3 in Don Scott's market.
4) Yes, identify all horses at single figure prices in the TAB market.
5) I bet them at level stakes on Betfair.

I only use Don Scott's market to identify the qualifying races. I originally dutched the selections (all under $10 in the TAB market) using his prices but they were generally way out of whack especially in the sprint races. So I decided to bet level stakes.

Because some of the qualifying races have had an odds-on fave, I have also been considering only those races where his fave is a minimum of $4, and then backing level stakes on Betfair every horse that is $20 and less in the TAB market. I had a quick look at some of these races and the method showed good promise (even boxed quinellas with the TAB), but because the amount of races were very few, there were some days with no qualifying races, I did not persue it.

If you have this info you might take a look at it, or even change some of the rules.
