All,

Thanks for all the advice. I have started a bank of 50 and will see how it goes. The bets will be 2% ( ie $1 until it hits $100 ).

I had 1 bet today and it paid $4.60/$1.60. So my bank has already increased slightly ( to $53.60).

I will continue testing it in the mean time on some more data, using months I haven't tested yet.

For those interested I have added another 150 or so bets from previous data and the figures are now :

Avg bets per week : 13
WIN strike rate : 41%
Avg WIN POT % : 28%
Place Strike Rate :77%
Avg Place POT % :19%

The places POT has dropped as has the WIN strike rate put the WIN POT has increased. Hopefully I will be able to make my test betting account ($50) work as good as this although I know it needs lots more testing.

Oh and just a note this isn't based on favs/or near favs but it does pick a lot of them thus the high percentage for the win strike rate. But I have had a win of $18.50 and $11.60 during testing as well as numerous wins between $7-$10 range. The highest win dividend bet on was $121.00 and it came 3rd.

Thanks again to everyone ... and if you have more advice let me know.
I am always willing and keen to learn something new.

Thanks
