This morning I decided to look at Quinellas based on D.S's market. I applied the rules:

1) Minimum of 12 starters.
2) Box all selections under $100 in D.S.'s market.
3) A no-bet race if D.S.'s fave is odds-on.

The results using Unitab divvies are:

Qualifying races = 12.
Successful Quinellas = 10.
Outlay of $252
Return of $401
Profit of $149

I did not look at trifectas because the TAB take-out for quinellas is a few percentage points less than trifectas. However it would also have been a winning day because it struck the trifecta at W'bool R10 which paid inxs of $3,400 ($5,000 on NSW TAB).

I know one good day does not a winning method make but I'll be again looking at it tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing those findings Michael,

It looks interesting.

Without any large divvies it'll be a wipe-out.

I for one, am prepared for you to take that risk.

I will not say that is not a good idea but to put up 460 plus dollars with just one days past results is utter maddness .

Job123, you're right, it's utter madness.

However, I'm not betting them, I'm just testing them on paper.

I'm also testing the Win bet on Betfair S.P. assuming a $5 bet, and after 9 races its almost $100 in profit, and with NSW TAB about $80 in profit. Quinellas are currently about $50 in the red.

LOLLLL!!!
