I agree with the 2nd sentence 100%
Eventually i got tired of seeing my,
Top rated priced at $3.9 win at $3.8,
In the end i allowed for 0.5 betting,
Point all horses for an underlay.

Say i priced a horse at $4.0 i would accept $3.50,
This also helped overcome the disgraceful %s bet,
In the far away Sydney and Queensland country meetings.

In saying that i am in pursuit of something mechanical,
Now that hopefully will eliminate this process.

The above made it possible to bet an underlay without to ,
Much compromising the rated price to an extent.

Cheers.
