I get the same response when I ask about quinella betting here Shaun. Seems there aren't many quinella punters in this forum. A while ago I read an article on multiple and exotic betting - it convinced me that quinellas are good value but trifectas etc. are generally not. A pity quinellas have a reputation as an "old ladies" bet. In many races you find quite small quinella pools and consequently small returns. My strategy is always a box 3 usually with a long-priced runner in the equation. Have had some success but don't feel confident about it. I wish I knew more about the tricks of quinella betting.

Despite the article I read that explained why quinellas are value bets I am still often disappointed by returns. I reckon anything more than twice the price of the winner is a fair return for the degree of difficulty involved, but that level of value can be hard to find.

The trick with quinellas must be to avoid as many of those dreaded 1st-3rd results as you can. They drive me mad. Over and again - the winner and third.

Isn't there a quinella genius on this forum who can enlighten us?

Also, who, in their search for a winning system, has found losing systems that pull lots of second placegetters? Obviously such systems can be adapted to quinella betting.
