Seymour

Bunbury
r6-8
r7-2

You will always make more from win only

thats rights but heaps more risk

That doesn't make sense. making more money = more risk[?] Lower strike rate for the win only sure, but in the end the odds are in favour of the win bet [regarding profit], not the place bet. Profit is the name of the game, not strike rate.

Yeh i can see where your coming from,i was thinking more along the lines of more places = more profit,but i suppose if you can get enough constant winners then your a lot better off.



lol yeh i was wondering if that would happen


Ok my system has come up with 15 selections over 5 meetings tomorrow,do you think thats to many for 1 system in a day ?
I suppose if your selections are coming in you can say it's not many but,the more you have the greater your odds of losing or winning,what do you think?

Crazy, I don't think the number of selections is relevant. I've about 70-80 selections on a good Saturday, and most other days have 30-40 selections. I would suggest though that you have some idea of the value of each selection and don't plonk on every one. As an example, of todays 30 odd possible lays, I could only get the price I wanted on 8.

What's important is your edge. No edge no bet

PS: Oh and making a profit too

While I agree with your line Crash, I'd like to remind all that there are plans of attack out there that specifically target place betting and often these systems show a woeful loss on win bets. As you know it's all I do cause I have a low pain thresh hold. So yes the odds might be in favour of the win bet but for me Strike rate IS the name of the game ...cause that equals profit.

A $2 [often less] place collect on a $8 winner is not enticing. Saying that however, there is something to be said for the place bet. Over $8w SP I bet 1x3 because in my experience enough place bets get up to make it worthwhile. Below $8w SP I've found the place bet a waste of time and a loss over straight win bets.

Mmm well that's the forum curse.


Absolutely right!

Crazyjord, get about 500 more selections under your belt and you'll be able to answer the question yourself
