Mark, if I test a Trifecta system I will sometimes do so on paper. But if I prefer to test it with real money, I will with a flexi bet of 1% and record the results assuming a $1 bet. So fortunately emotion is not an issue with me when testing.

If I was to bet $1.00 per combination I would have to do so on a sure-fire winning system - are there any?

The safest win staking plan is .5% flat stakes .
Adjusted up & down on a floating bank , at the beginning of each new day .

This helps address those very real fears that comes to all of us on the punt at some stage.

I've had a look at yesterday's results.

Limiting those races that had a maximum of 8 selections did not perform too badly.

The win outlay was $76 for a return of $108.80 with the TAB, but only a disappointing $109.23 on Betfair S.P.

The quinella outlay was $197 for a return of $200.

The trifecta outlay was $1,830 for a return of $1,620.

I also had a look at Tuesday's results, and again limiting the selections to a max of 8 would have had an excellent day.

Today I'll list the selections when available.

I'm also considering S.P. laying all horses from the method that are $100-plus in the D.S. market regardless of the amount of selections. Out of interest I did so yesterday with one race, and made a good profit on it. I wish I had continued because there were no accidents yesterday, neither on Tuesday.

LOLLLL!!!

Unfortunately I didn't.

However I used it as a lay method against some of the non-qualifiers, and won a few dollars.

Hi michaelg, I have had a look at this idea which seems promising.
The only difference I made was rather then cover all selections @ $100 or less, I dropped the qualifying price to $31 or less.
This way you don't have to cover as many selections and your outlay is smaller.
