I actually left that particular 1.70 pick alone - did not meet my criteria for a bet. However my only two "serious" bets yesterday (of the four-legged variety anyway) were both less than $3.00 on the tote. I finished the day with 2 bets for 2 winners paying 3.30 (IAS fixed price - payed 2.80 on Tabcorp) and 2.43 (IAS DiviPlus) so a POT for the day on my serious betting of 186%.

I am not saying that this is the best approach - it is just what suits me best at the moment. There seems to be a huge "phobia" about betting on short priced horses but as long as you are selective they can be a great profit maker. If you look at the statistics the short priced horses show the smallest loss (without filters) - therefore you don't have as much of a disadvantage to overcome before you start making profit.

As has been said many times here before - you just need to find your preferred area and exploit it regardless of whether others think it can or cant be done!
