No offence intended but betting quinellas like that is not the way to go(IMO).I have tried recently to extoll the virtues of betting quinellas to prices,especially at the shorter end of the market,but as no interest was generated I chose not to go on with it.Favs win 30% of all races,those figures have stood the test of time,therefore thats 3 races in every 10 that you cant win before you even start!Boxing like that would mean your s/r would have to be extremely good to stay in profit in the long term,that is in the remaining 7 races out of 10.I would like to make a couple of suggestions,which you can take away and think about or reject completely.
1)Box Quinella 5 selections=$10
Suggestion.........
Pick your strongest selection and make it your banker and couple it with the other 4 runners @ $2.50=$10.
2)Box Quinella 6 runners=$15
Suggestion........
Same deal
Make 1 a banker and couple it with the other 5 runners @$3=$15
As you can no doubt see,if your main selections are sound you will multiply your divvies by 2 or 3 at the same cost as a box.
Betting to prices and a target take out per meeting,not per race is the way to go.
cheers
