Hi all, here we go again, this has probably been hashed out countless times.
Since mid december when I changed my philosophy on my bets, i.e. to only back on pace runners resulting from my sectional times analysis and even with a couple of reasonably bad run of outs, this is my story:

130 bets in 118 races (sometimes I will back 2 or more horses in the same race)
42 winners for a POT of 35% with a strike rate of 32.3% from my total bets and a race strike rate of 35.6%. My average win divvie is $4.20.

This all looks ok to me. I have played around with various staking plans including the "original retirement staking plan" and my own small variations of it. They outperformed my level stakes when things were going ok, but when a couple of run of outs occurred, the level stakes come back into play and it still shows the best overall result.

I know I am answering my own question here, but does anyone have any super duper staking plans that they wish to share.

Paul
