Thanks Bahgwan,

I agree that 44 % is high, takes discipline to only bet on the right stuff, as what you say, 8-12 horses, no maidens, no jumps,etc.
One thing that i use is the recent four starts, if anything doesnt fit in the "finished in top five" last 4 starts i leave this alone also. I cross referance this with the point system supplied by qtab, tab etc and as i stated before, if it is over 90, and meets my requirements above, ill have a go.
That is win bet though, as i said before i want to do place only and follow the same principles, the couple of staking plans that you have shown and one other that was shown to me on this forum i have been using now since my first post, they work OK. That is what i was looking for. The $3.20 for a win is spot on, i used a staking plan of 1,1.5,2.5,4,60 etc for a while on paper and did really well,...........until 12 out in a row and found that you need a minimum of that figure at least.
The place betting is now into its second week, started with 240 units, now bank 1 is up to 383 units,(6 betting days)and 240 in bank 2 is now 360. followed both your place plans, your idea of targetting second fav was also in the back of my mind.
One question i do have is,
If one builds ones bank progressivly, lets say to 4000 units, would you,
A:remove said bank and leave say a new bank of 500 units,.or
B:Keep punting ( re investing ) until the bets are rediculously high, would this effect the place pool if say a bet of 300 units were place onto a nag, would it be then worth it ?
Any way, thanks again for your input, look forward to your thoughts on those points.

Bewdy
