Hi Puntz,

to get formatted text, you need to use the HTML code < p r e > at the start of the text, and < / p r e > at the end of the text (without the spaces in the stuff between the < and the >).

Then

     you 

         will

              get

                  spaces

                         in your text

Cheers,
Chris.

thanks stebbo,
don't have time for it.
It should just appear as it is written.

Puntz,
The general idea of the concept is to cover as many place prices as feasible to make sure you that if you do not win you will at least get some of your stake money back. eg. 8/9 runners in a 10 field race or 6 runners in a 7 field race. Obviously it has holes as does other systems.

Like other systems, it becomes more effective if you apply form or are handy at handicapping.

What I did not mention in my original post is that I am using it with a broader betting system that I am currently trialing.

ok,
yeah i have skimmed past this idea a few years back, but soon became a non issue for the time being at the time.
However, some of the stuff i did skim over and thought about, is the fact in most cases the place price's are just not paying enough.
It will just go to negative, meaning you get less back that your outlay, on too many runners.
The other way round, is if possible, to place-cover your bets on the most probable of a win bet losing, but getting palce. Do in a 10 horse race, where you back every horse bar the fav., then for the place, bet on the shorter of the win pricres, rather than hope for the long shot to come in. If you cover the long shot, it may be a waste of a place bet, if you leave it out, that gives you more units to bet with on the other runners for the place, calculated of at least breaking even.

=================================
I had to come back, it just dawned upon me,
why would anyoe want to bet on the place, if one is looking to back every runner bar the fav ?
Incase the fav. gets up an wins ?

Personaly I would keep betting till the fav loses. Cos it it will.
