If there are 2 selections in a race, i'd back both. If they were 1st & 2nd faves i'd probably leave the race alone though. If we were unlucky to have 3, i'd back the 2 roughest. I generally dont bet below $4 so Im more inclined to back the longer priced selections. This is just a simple system afterall, and Id magine the profit is in the higher priced selections long term. I also think we can get better overs on Betfair when the prices are longer.
And yes the last 2 months have been good. It continued on Sat, 2 winners from 3 bets.
I will admit that i've chopped and changed the rules as i've reasearched this through the year. Its in profit for the year all up. The rules i have now are quick and simple to go through, which is part of the deal.
For the record, I'm only having 0.5% bets for the win only

For simplicities sake I took the days to last start as 70 which covers both, resumers and all, not hard to do in the way you specified either.
The fact that you pick your winners from the qualifiers, and also that you bet on more than one, explains your better result.
I just picked the highest TAB number, but I saw many times that the other selection actually won, so that's where the difference lies.
I found it better for the win than the place, overall not a bad little system, the simpler the better I say.
Have fun with it and good luck.
