Hope you continue to post them!!!

Gday Bob..
I am loathe to advise people how to bet.. that is an idividual decision, as is value. Value is a very personal thing.. I may think a thing rated 1.9 paying
2.3 is a great overlay, where someone else may not. I generally do not take less than $3
Over the long haul, taking the overs has proved a worthwhile excercise. I do not think the ratings are good enough that you could back the top rated horse exclusively, at best you will break even but more likely your bank would wither on the vine. I will have a look back since Jan 1 and see how the top horse has gone, tho I am not confident they would be in profit. But I don't use them that way, I have always looked for the value, the only thing I will say is that I only consider horses rated up to $11 as win bets. The others are there for people who like to take multi quins tris ex's etc.
I hope this helps |
