Thanks Chrome Prince. That certainly makes more sense but of course then you would need to be in front of the computer all day and it wouldn't be automatic (oh well, we can't have it all...lol).

Bhagwan. That is starting to make more sense but, again, you would need to be in front of the computer to work out how much to place on each 1st fav to break even on it.

There must be a way of generally coming out even on the 1st fav apart from backing and laying it on 2 different bots.

By the way, the UK races last night ended -$88 but the culprit last night was the 2nd fav being -127 and with the 3rd fav winning a few the total losses from these 2 picks was -160 (big turn around from the Aus races yesterday).

The 1st fav didn't win many races and ended up +72 at laying to $10 liab which means that the system would of finished ahead last night if all 3 favs were laid to $30 liability rather than just the 2nd & 3rd favs having a $30 liab and the 1st fav having a $10 liab.

The 1st fav example above though would not be typical because not many won last night. I'll give the above specs a go in today's Aus races.
