The way the late great Don Scott would do it was...
Divide ones accessed price into say $100 (base figure) for all the targeted selections for the race if they were paying overs.

I have not taken into account the overs of the actual bet placed here.
So , if one gets up , it will pay more than what is shown.

If betting to Price
$4.00/$100 = Bet 25.00
$8.00/$100 = 12.50
$11.00/$100 = 9.09
O/L $46.59
To Ret $100
Prof +$53.41
no matter which one gets up

If betting to odds
3/1 / 100 = Bet 33.33
7/1 / 100 = 14.29
10/1 / 100 = 10.00
O/L $57.62

O/L is usually greater doing it this way.

If 3/1 wins = 75.71 Prof
If 7/1 wins = 56.67
If 10/1 wins = 52.38

Which is not a bad way of doing it especially if one feels the shorter prices will be more dominant on the day.

Cheers.

Thanks Mr Quaddie.

My late mother was no slouch on the punt and died aged 84 with a vast amount of wealth both money wise and in terms of knowledge.
