Hello Michael,
No. I lost $20 yesterday but I still have to figure out the most reliable staking plan for someone like me who only has a small bank to play with. I'm only betting small at the moment and any loss is just part of the learning curve.
P.S. Congratulations on your second at Port Macquarie (in another Maiden). It paid $1.20c on the NSW Tab. I saw your posting about it at lunchtime but when I checked to see if I had time for a bet I discovered that the race was already under way.

Hello Gizzard,
Thanks for your input. You say that you check "Betfair" or "SportOdds" when looking at making a place bet. I also use use SportOdds as well as the TAB but I haven't worked out to make a place only bet with them. As far as I know, it is only possible to make either a win only bet or a win and place together bet (at equal stakes).
Is this what you do - bet a certain number of units with win and place, then bet some more units with win only? This would then give you more units for the win than the place. I've never thought of doing it that way before but it might be worth looking at.
Yet, if there is in fact a way of betting place only with SportOdds I'd grateful if you could tell me how it's done.
Thanks,
Rebeccian
