g'day dingoboy,

The answer to your question is definitly yes!! buuuuuT, of course after a few outs your stakes are up in Kerry's league. I do something very similar in a way, except I "dutch" 2 selections from 2 seperate races PRESUMING a 3-1 payout overall, i.e. you need 1 winner @ 7-1 or the equivolent of 2x3-1 winners.

if the payout is less the amount to recover is added onto the Target for the next pair and so on....... IF the return is greater than 3-1 (eg, say you hit 2 winners at 6-1, and 8-1 for instance) then the residue is put into a seperate bank and is used to reduce target when there is a run of 5 outs (i.e. 10 losers) I've been doing pretty well with this, but of course it all comes down to the method of selections in the first place. In my case I am using ratings which have consistently shown break even - about 10% POT.
