    I think the secret to this place betting might be to take the shorter priced horses Oddy. If you keep looking for even money and above, it just seems too hard. Do you look at 7 bets in 10 to break even at $1.50, or say 5 at even money? The more I look at it, the more difficult it becomes. And it's probably not wise to try forcing it by betting every day, at least not too often. Maybe just wait for the better bets and put more on.

    This exercise has become a real brain tease mate. Don't be surprised if you start head butting walls.

    2 from 6 = 33%
    3 from 8 = 37.5%

    Not much difference and what you lose in percentage you win in lack of sharing the pool 3 ways
