Desi,

Unitab have 'Any2' bets and Tabcorp has the 'Duet' which is basically the same thing. I'd suggest all TABs will probably have something like it soon.

These were the 'field' Any2 bets I had today:

IPSW R7-4 Jaegers/Field (Out $11, In $42.80)
RAND R3-3 I'm No Square/Field (Out $8, In $6.70)
SAND R5-8 Hurricane Gust/Field (Out $10, In $10.70)
SAND R8-3 Willie Command/Field (Out $9, In $28.30)
STRA R1-8 Euphemia/Field (Out $13, In $39.50)

Total: Out $51, In $128.00

As you can see, it doesn't work out well in every race. In I'm No Square's race, I actually lost money and in Hurricane Gust's race, I only made 70cents. The other 3 races more than made up for it. Remember, to win this bet, all you have to do is pick a placegetter, but you can often get back quite a bit more than the place dividend. For example, today, if I had simply put the corresponding $ amounts on each of those 5 horses for a place, I would have got back just $70.10 for my $51. That's a BIG difference.
