Deo Favente is a favourite of mine as well especially now...
I was real lazy today and just put my Bookers with field..Stepping, Mr Ponsford , Deo Favente , Full of honour and Stamen ...with $100 straight out on them....huge day for me today...makes up for a disasterous day yesterday. :smile:
might look at this field betting more closely ...more expensive but theres no way i would of picked those tris

With the magical day you had yesterday Sporty i would of just watched today...no one has that much luck still left in them.:wink:

What do you mean by taking your selection with the field? Do you just have your selection on top or as a rover? That's gotta cost heaps???

Just as a banker ...roving costs more
about 3 times as much....
easy to work out the cost
No of picks
x No of picks for 2nd -1
x No of picks for 3rd -2

Mr ponsford Tri cost me $36 for a 1/2
if i roved it would of cost $108 for 1/2 so you really are hoping for a couple of roughies to fill the places.

Te Stamen tri costs twice as much because it was a large field.

I've been doing this alot lately ..theres nothing worse than being super confident on a horse to win and missing out on the tri because some donkey has jagged a place.

Yeah, I know how to work it out. I just wasn't sure if you took your horse only for first or as a rover. Actually doesn't cost as much as I thought it would, but it's still pretty scary though. If your horse wins you win big, but if it gets pipped in a photo, you lose the lot.

Hi sportznut,

I was looking in betting systems forum, and you posted a message about a system for win and place with type a, b ,c,d,
etc..

how is system A going and what modifications have you made to this??

I used to do alot of field trifetas, but found whenever i'd pick the winner two well fancied horses would come second and third and i end up getting far less then a win bet. I mostly do win bets and all ups nowadays, although you do still have the chance to jag that huge tri especially in a big field.

Hi. Of the 4 original plans, A was the best. Basically, with those new rules, I've simply combined Plans A and B into one and deleted plans C and D altogether. I also added a few new rules. Still not completely satisfied with it but let's see how it goes.

Mr Ed, I had a look at a couple of the trifectas that Mav must have got yesterday and I was amazed at the divs. If I thought I could get divs something like that, then I'd be tempted to give field trifectas a go too. I think I'm too cautious though to just have one horse on top, especially if it's not the fav. I was very confident about Elvestroem on Saturday, but I still wasn't game enough to take him as a banker.

Hi Mr Ed...in dont usually go the field if my runner is short unlees i think the other favs are vulnerable....Stamen was the exception yesterday but it was a Cup so the Tris are usually pretty good.
still i usually have about $100 on the win just incase my selection shortens (Like Mr Ponsford yesterday) and the tri doesnt pay all that much...
You can see by my old thread that i usually go for mulitple selections in my tris..but i was still missing..the field has its risks but if you have a win bet as well you can easily cover a small tri divi...
Today i had Genuinely with the field but had a win bet aswell that made a nice collect.if i went just the tri i wouldn't of made anything.. still when your selection runs second a few times with roughies filling the places it can be very frustrating..
