Well,

i thought that would be the case, scarry stuff !

So if one as Bahgwan sujests takes the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and maybe 7th, obviously the "strike rate" would be not as high leaving out the two favourites but the pay would be higher and due to the capabilities of throwing in another nag that would probabally give us a reasonable strike rate (everything works out in the wash).

Obviously with first and second favs gone, our hit rate would be less and then we would expect a good % return which should cover the longer runs of outs,

Bahgwan,........i know youll have it,come on !............what sort of staking plan for this one ? I recon with the high return odds, we could expect:

Bank 1000, x 3
5% initial bet= 50 units
next bet=75 units
next bet=113 units
next bet=175 units etc.

Kenchar,
Same same,...i dont use this idea for my normal day to day stuff, but i always find myself coming back and looking at it also, there is just something in the back of my mind that says "give it just a little go boy, go on, just try it", i had a couple of 100 unit bets at the local last weekend(which i never do) and took the old trusty thongs and my nokia 9210 with my "partially finnished excel dutch" programme installed, two bets and out the door with a fist full of fifties, but i think the gods were looking at me favourablly that day so i left it at that and had take away courtousy of nsw tab.

I still recon it would work and im sure many, many have thought this before me and are now probabally in the poor home or have discovered how to read the form and how to pick horses for the win !

Puntz,

Sorry mate, im not really up to your standards here, im not really sure what you mean but is it feasable to say you can punch in my "thoughts" into like a hypothetical bet machine and see how it goes "live" ? hence "balance A -42.9? i take it that you have punched it in and it is showing a loss, woldnt surprise me.
Like i said, im pretty new to all of this and i dont have computers and info that do what you blokes can do, but it would be interesting to see how what Bahgwan and Kenchar sujest would go, maybe target 3,4,5,6 and 7 leaving out the 1st and 2nd with some sort of progressive staking plan, maybe the retirement with a divisor of about:? with a really big bank.

I think it was Partypooper sugested once to combine all the individual bets for that day and make them as one figure, then re calculate the next days outlay as a bulk figure then spread that over your chosen races,

Anyway, its the thought that counts !

Cheers all
