what i have found is the first thing you need to do is find a bookmaker that will give you best totes as often as possible.
The range between bottom and top dividend in place betting can be quite large - most of the time on a % basis wider than win

by doing that you can eliminate the first 6- 8% points of your disadvantage.

BF is quite good - but if you get too aggressive on non-metrops you can be left sitting out there without a bet all because for example you sat fat on $5.00 when $4.90 was the best available - the animal then invariable glides easily into 2nd place.

also if you miss your price on the metrops and have to take place SP it is most of the time worse than best place tote.
