It really doesn't matter to me other than for the preference for the horse that is going to return the most profit. As I've stated previously. quite often when I bet three horses in a race, one or two may only be 'saver' bets as I work to the premise of outlays not being more than two-thirds of the assessed profit with the preferred position being outlays equalling assessed profit, ie. an even money bet.

In most cases I manage to get overalay prices so that the actual profits (when obtained) are higher than the assessed profit.

One bet I didn't take last Saturday was on Makybe Diva as the price on offer was only equal to my assessed price of $3.10 so I preferred to stay out, which on this occasion was to my cost. However, on other occasions making marginal bets are just that, marginal bets that over a period add little to the bottom line.
