Hi, L.G.

Yes, I pick the "right" races and then apply a couple of filters to weed out the worst chance in the race.

Laying via S.P. is not a worry because even if the selection ends up being the biggest outsider I can only lose $33 (this is liability for each selection I use for the purpose of recording the results on this thread) but not with real betting. The only drawback with outsiders is that the profit is minimal.

I have no staking method - I lay each selection according to my opinion. But I do have a minimum liability and will increase on this according to my opinion. For example, for the purposes of this thread today's profit was $5.93 with level $33 liability lay-bets, but my real profit was about $100 with having different sized bets. The higher I might bet if I think the horse's chances of winning are slim.

I no longer back and lay (only lay) because the results are too hard to accurately determine, and I prefer laying.
