hi Cadman,
I will leave the lesson on the TAB to the other more knowledge members of the group - as for the Dr Z method and related issues...
1. I believe place betting is far more logical than win betting, and more secure.
2. I believe the tote prices are the most accurate guide to form and therefore should be considered as a serious guide. I believe this because the tote price is a reflection of every piece of knowledge about the race. Its a reflection of the owners, trainers and race track workers knowledge, its a reflection of the experts with their massive computer programmes and a reflection of the rest of us donkeys :smile:
The tote price is telling a lot.
3. I believe that in using the tote price, one should use the win price to ascertain who are the top contenders and then use this to reflect upon the place price.
4. As for Dr Z's method, what I can understand of it... I'd probably go for a variation of it, as the author has done.

its an interesting subject, and controversial

see ya
