Thanks Dr Pangloss,
I wish to use a formula in my spreadsheet where I am attempting to set up a plan to bet Quinellas. I intend to dutch some runners. I have set up a sheet already to do Trifectas and this required a complex formula consisting of the multiplication and division of Horses 1, 2 and 3. I assume there is also a formula to work out the Quinellas comprising the use of the prices of runner 1 and runner 2, as is the case with Trifectas. This is what I'm looking for.
I was hoping some forum members have already set up such a sheet so that when I update the start prices, I can work out an approximate Quinella return for the runners I select. I can't see how I can get this information from the method you suggest. Do you have any other thoughts that might assist me.

Thanks for your reply.
Kind regards,
Ralf

The 'formula' for the Quinella is identical to that used for win, place, exacta etc etc saving the deduction differentials.

The gross pool less 15% (or is it now even more - 20% WA TAB) divided by total number winning units = final dividend.

The deduction component has been described by some as "corporate greed". Others say the rising cost of a bet lies squarely at the feet of the lazy, apathetic and ignorant punting public.
