Yeah, for some reason, I do tend to do okay at the midweek racing. Had a good one again today. I had 12 betting races in all and the Geelong Cup was the only blowout (and I got most of that money back thanks to Mr Celebrity). I made a handy profit today.

Lately I've decided to concentrate almost totally on Saturdays and Wednesdays (or whenever the big midweek races are on) and I've been doing well using this strategy. That's why I haven't been posting any tips for Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays etc lately, because I've only been having maybe 1 or 2 bets on those days. Sometimes none at all.

Sorry guys...havent had time to have a look at Belmont these past weeks but the guys doing the 'West' thread have been doing a great job for a much longer time than I anyway...


Not sure if Western Spur (Northam R7 No5) can cope with the speed for 1300m but Vern reckons hes fit and setting him for longer...hasnt shown anything yet (even been described as one paced-slow hahahaha) but mother is from Zabeel and apparently they dont start to show anything till 4 years plus so fingers crossed...

I know Ive done so before and was disappointed but will pick Silent Wishes again in race 1 Northam...No 3 and 16 small ew in R2... and think Prince Of Vasac canturn the table on Wild Target in R6 with the extra 100m (was good win by WT though with PJ again on board)...good luck guys...hope to catch up Saturday...

only a couple in the stable tomorrow...
IpswicH.. Lukes Turn and Big Mick ..havent studied the fields yet but i'll be looking at these ...

good luck guys

can someone plz tell me how you do a bet for the first 4 in a race? also how the cost of all in and parlay bets work?


cheers,

matt..

First 4 is same as a tri......except you need to pick a horse/horses to run 4th - Hence you need to pick the first 4 horses in order.

Cost = number selections for 1st x number selections for 2nd x number selections for 3rd x number selections for 4th.

e.g. ten horse field - Take:
For 1st select 1,2,3
For 2nd select 1,2,3,4,5
For 3rd select Field (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
For 4th select Field (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

3 x 4 x 8 x 7 = $672 for $1 unit ($336 for 50c unit) or for a $20 flexi bet (NSW TAB) you would get 2.97% of the 1st 4 dividend and oly cost you $20 not $672 !!

All in bet ? not sure what you mean is this the same as an all-up (VIC) ?

Parlay........ I ain't gunna explain this one (my fingers are getting sore as it is) - sorry mate I'm sure someone else will explain it...

Hope this helps! ?
