Xpt,

I will be interested to see how the 1x6 goes. Where you have 2 selections in a race, how do you bet that ?

I WRITE:
I will back them both at the same stake, ie 3x18..

I tried 1x6 for a very short time and it worked well, but enough winners were coming up so I prematurely dumped it for the win bet. A great idea though when the bad streaks hit winning form and everything is coming in 2nd.

It is based on US racing, and mathematically, supposedly the best e/w bet. Shouldn't be too different here. I suppose it is a place system with win saver. Nothing worse than having a place bet, only to see it win!

I write:
Yeah I kinda agree with you there. I have been running a Trainer stable for quite a long tme now, and got fed up to the back teeth with getting nutted and seeing em pay 7 and 8 bucks the place.. (backin Win only) That stable was in profit by a wee bit on the win but after I decided to stake it 1x6 the improvement in profit was to say the least dramatic..

Oh yeah those selections showed a profit today, not huge but in the black just the same.. I have about 30 races assessed tomorrow, not sure that i should post that many..

You get out of P/M yet ? I'd hate to rent there now. Wish I had bought when I lived there 15yrs. ago.

Cheers.
I write: I am still here, and will be going to the races on Monday all things being equal.. The Real Estate has gone mad here, just like everywhere else..
