Thanks Key,
I've read all the mathematics on eachway betting and yes, the shorter the price the better the place value.
I guess what I'm after is a staking plan that suits eachway betting - they tend to cater to either win or place. My hunch is that splitting win and place and treating the banks seperately is the way to go rather than treating the eachway bet as one bet.
Yeah, I'll give it a go tomorrow and see what happens - I'm sick of winning on paper!
Here are my selections for tomorrow if anyone cares;
Syd 2 - 2 Sir Dan
Syd 3 - 1 Timidity
Syd 5 - 1 Marrakesh Express
Ips 2 - 6 Nova
Ips 3 - 2 Grandway Shogun
Good luck with yours.
