Good for you Betty.
Whilst I don't give Haychee's method much credence, I won't bag it either.
People still don't believe that it's possible to back every runner in a race & have no losers. I have now branched out to betting on UK races as they bet e/w when there is an odds on favourite, and even though they pay 1/4 the place for races of 5-7 runners, there is a possible race nearly every night.

Mark,

Just wondering what bookie(s) you use for the UK betting? I am assuming you are betting via the Internet.

I'm guessing you are able to back something EW to beat the odds-on favourite, but I could be wrong. :wink:

Becareful....go to oddschecker.com, they list about 12 bookies there (including exchanges), I have accounts with 6 of them.

Umrum....it's not as simple as backing a runner e/w just because it's odds on, it's what an odds on favourite does to the place % that counts.

Rogan Josh.....no, I back every runner when I can. See reply to Umrum. Backing a 4/6 runner that gets a place returns you 58% of your outlay. Why is it then, that @ 4/1 running a place only returns 100%, when it is 6 times the price?, surely it should return 6 x 58% or 348%. Please don't write back that the 4/6 place getter is a loser because that would show that you have missed the point. When there is an odds on favourite it greatly reduces the place % & that is the advantage that I look for.
