Simple, pick the winning/placing longshots only!

Shucks, didn't realise it was THAT easy!!!!! hahahah!

On the question of Best Tote, a valid point sent to me by e-mail is that if you place 2/3 of your bet at Country Best (= best of NSW/Supertab) and 1/3 at Unitab then you will ALWAYS beat the average of the three......

if there is 10 horses in the race and for example and you wanted to bet $14 , you could for example bet $4 a win and $10 a place or you could bet your selection at $4.50 a win and take your selection with an exacta - the field first and your selection for second, cost $9.50, now if your selection comes
second instead of first , i have struck some amazing dividends. often an outsider comes in first , and even if the second placegetter is only around the $2 mark the exacta return can be very high . if you pick the right races and the second placegetter is paying much lower price than the winner, the returns can be extra good , a few weeks ago in a 7 field trot race ,where the second placegetter was in the market, the exacta paid over $400 while the quinella paid only $19 so if you are good at picking second placegetters, I believe the exacta offers the better bet over place bets.just about every race day my selections get home second and the exactas have paid between $200 and $1,5OO.The exactas offers no value when the the lowest priced horse gets home first. how many times have you seem a short priced favorite get beaten on-the -line by a real outsider.? often in maidens with first starters.

Well there is no law against having half your stake exacta a,b, and then have half your stake b,a. PS when I've tried it I've never backed so many 3rds in my life!!!! hahahah!
