Mark,
We're just kicking a few ideas around here. And that's the whole idea - to look at things like this BEFORE you put your money down.


Dingo,
There were 83 races yesterday. By the way, I've just looked at numbers 2,3,6,7 and they produced better results. Again, making no additions or adjustments for scratchings, these numbers produced 45 wins and a return of $307. As for Any2 bets, that's basically just like a quinella, only your selections don't have to finish 1st & 2nd. They can finish 1st & 3rd or 2nd & 3rd. There are three separate dividends and as a result some of the divs are pretty damn small, but you can get some real good ones too. And of course it's possible to win all 3 divs with the one bet if you box your selections or have a couple of bankers. And the bet I've been talking about is where you take one selection as a banker from the field. Then all your runner has to do is just get a place and you collect 2 of the 3 divs. So it's basically just like a place bet, only that if a roughie or two pops in the placings it can pay a fair bit more than a place bet of the same size.
