Hi, Im new to this site and would like to know about "betting to prices"
Is that when you bet the odds into how much you want to win??
If it is what happens when you loose do you add the lost bet onto the next target or ????

Thanks

the best way to answer your question is to show the answer yourself. that way you know you did it, rather than have it served up on a platter.
if the formula you use is exposed here, then the number crunchers may correct or advise on your current method.
however, if what you ask is what you contemplate on doing, chasing losses....well, good luck !

Hi Party,

Betting to prices referes to 'target betting'. If you want to win $100 per bet and the odds are 10/1 your bet is $10 and if the odds are 5/1 your bet is $20 etc.

Nothing wrong with it except I wouldn't use it to target losses by adding a loosing bet [s] to the $100 [ or whatever ] target. You would find yourself in financial trouble pretty quickly if you did.

Cheers.

hate to be a PARTY-POOPER, hah ahahah, but I always thought that betting to prices was as follows:

If the conveyance in question was rated at say.... 5-1,..... and at least those odds were on offer, i.e. say 7-1 was on offer /or available, then bet $20 per $100 required take out would be invested. Another example would be say 10-1 was available about the rated 5-1 chance , then the bet would still be $20. But NEVER in any circumstances would the loss (if any) be added to the target.
