Stix,

UNfortunately the favourite will run in the quinella about 45-50% of the time so would eliminate every second bet. Using the stats I have available that I got from this forum, I worked out an approximate strike rate of about 10-12 % for your combos. given a ten horse race and a strike rate if your lucky of 15% you would need an average divi of about $ 633 or there abouts. If you could narrow down the races to ones where you think there is a false favourite you might be able to increase the strike rate and lower the divi needed to produce a profit. SOme one on the forum might be able to produce some actual figures based on a sizeable amount of races that would paint a clearer picture. Hope this info helps.
