Seeker11,

I'm exactly the same. I've ALWAYS been way too cautious with my betting and as a result I don't make anywhere near enough advantage of my wins. I mostly bet each-way and I also tend to go more for quinellas rather than trifectas and first fours. On a few occasions I've actually had a four horse quinella and won, only to see my horses run 1,2,3,4 and the first 4 pays heaps.

A good example of me being cautious is last week in the tipping comp. I had 2 tips in every race. If I had simply had $10 on all my top picks, I would have made nearly $30 more profit than I did.

When I put my tips in tomorrow, I'll probably do the same thing again however. I find it hard to change. Once a cautious punter, always a cautious punter???

Howdy Will,

Hope things are OK.

Sorry mate,no exotics.

One best bet allowed on 1 horse for $20 + 3 races of $10 or, 5x5 races at $10 per race. No 6 races.

*general note:

A $10 race can have more than one selection with money split on them anyway you like, as long as they are win only and the bet total is $10 per race.

Tatouche, note above, not 5x$2. [you had 2 wins for $45 total collect last week ]. Will read your selections as $10 each but to save confusing others, it is better to correct them.

Cheers.
