I have been successfully laying strike rates, and having my first-ever accident yesterday (in spite of that it was a good day of 31 smiles from 32 selections) I've decided to list the selections here.

Wyong
3/10
6/8
7/14
8/8

Ballarat
6/11
7/7

Rockhampton
1/7
4/14
5/14
6/9

Pinjarra
6/11
7/13
8/12
9/5

Hi Michaelg,

Interesting idea.

Is the cut-off point 8% win strike rate?

Also,

Are you setting a max lay price?

Using example of 8%:

100 / 8 = $12.50

Then maybe multiply this by .8 to ensure the lay is 'unders'

So in this instance, $12.50 x .8 = $10

Maybe I've just complicated things a little...

Hi, The Schmile.

I don't really have any strike rate or price limits. I generally lay them all for a fixed liability. I have two tiers of liability which I regard for "safe" and "safer" bets.

A few weeks ago I looked at strike rates for laying, and to my surprise it was very impressive, so the following day I started laying with real money, and as time went on I increased the size of the liability bets.

Yesterday's accident fortunately was with the "not so safe" method but more than recouped it. Some of the bets have been huge but the "safer method" has only ever had one Placing.

Over the three weeks I've won more than $1,000 per week just on these two strike rate methods, however from today I will not tempt fate by continuing (I hope) the large bets.

Nice going Michaelg!

Not a bad day. From the 14 selections there were 14 smiles for a profit of $14.19.

MG have you tried looking at both of the bottom ones in the races you are looking at?
