This forum has had no new ideas for so long its an embarrassment.

Here is something which I am investigating and others can evaluate it for themselves. I have no idea if this will work.

Basic idea which needs tweaking:
1. Place a bet in the quadrella on major meetings. It will be placed at 2*2*2*F. I suggest this needs to be tweaked based on the races but lets use 2*2*2*F for now for some basic testing.
2. The aim of this system is $50 profit per quadrella. Its not going to make you rich but its extra pocket change to please the wife.
3. At the commencement of the first race in the quadrella you lay the 2 selections + $50 profit.
4. If one of the horses win you do the same in race 2.
5. If one of the horses win you do the same in race 3.
6. Now comes the interesting part. If your two horses had lost in any of those races you are $50 richer and you go home. But if you lost all 3 races then you now have a winning quadrella ticket. Check the payouts (they are available on the last race) and you can find which ones are higher then your outstanding cost. You can lay some of these to get some cash back or you can just wait and see what happens and hope it covers your outlay.

You will lose occasionally with this method. But you will also win big occasionally. If a long shot comes in that last leg you might make several thousand.

Here are some examples for today:

Doomben: 3,14 - 10,7 - 3,7 - Field =$128
Randwick: 4 -1,3 - 10,14 - Field = $56
Caulfield : 1 - 3 - 7 - Field = $11
Gold Coast: 3 - 5 - 5 - Field = $14
Newcastle: 1 - 1,10 - 10 - Field = $22
Bendigo: 1,2 - 2 - 5 - Field : $26
Morphettville : 1 - 5 - 6,1 - Field : $28
Ascot : 2,4 -9,13-14-Field : $56

As you can see I didn't just go 2-2-2-F but that is the start point and then I made my own adjustments based on field size and odds.

I'll check results at end of day.

Note: No bets actually placed as this is just testing - I know bets would affect payouts.
