3 Trebles
1 4 horse all up

For $10 units this would be $110

If you selections are in different races you justs need to place 60% of the total on each selection.
EG

$110 = $66 remainder is $44

After the race you add all returns plus the remainder to give you a new parley amount.

Using the above figures if we had a place runner paying $1.50 x $66 return = $99

$99 + $44 = 143

The next bet would be 60% of this amount $86 adjusted with remainder $57

If you have a loss then the new bet would be 60% of the remainder.

Try this out using a 4 horse parlay with both methods and see how close they are.

Hi Shaun, I'm finding it difficult to follow your 60% method if you have a loss.

Are you saying that if the 1st bet losers (-$66) then you would continue the 4 bet parlay (another 3 bets) using 60% of the remaining $44 (which works out to be $26.40)? The remaining 3 bets in the sequence wouldn't get that much back.

Or do you just start a new sequence if you have a loss with $66 again?

I'm confused.
