i dont recall anyone suggesting that backing more than 1 runner in a race was a "short cut to winning", simply because that is not what it is, or pretends to be, speaking only for myself of course.

what it is (or can be) is an alternative betting method which when applied to the CORRECT race can be as worthwhile as any other form of nag investment.

someone suggest that by backing more than 1 nag you are effectivley betting odds on - well i am sure many a mug does that, just as a similar crowd line up to back the next $1.50 "certainty" tipped by john, dick & ************ harry.

select the right races & nags, dont dutch, dont bet odds on, & the "overs" that everyone has had a recent opinion on are certainly there, whether you are backing nag 1 or 5.
