I can't believe just how tight the punt is!

Equine Investor suggested backing TABs 1,2,3 where they start over $10. Seemned like a sensible strategy to me so I tried it. Result: I found 314 cases, return = $314.40. Similarly, I hit upon the idea of chasing the runner one point under the Zip Star (with a few other filters). I found 160 cases, return = $159.80. Then I tried zip stars where they are not the favourite. Found 210 cases, return = $211.20.

So I spent the whole day at it yesterday (between races) and came up with three methods that all break even.

The punt is as reliable as gravity. If you've got a method that pays well - consistently - well done, you're defying gravity.
