Foxmore 6.20
Black Suit 8.50

his top rater is 2.7 ahead of the next rater ..he would then have a scale
1.5 / 2 he would outlay $100
2 / 2.50 $200
2.5 / 3 $300
ect

so in this case he'd have backed Black ink for $300

I like his way of thinking and have been phantom trialling this recently for some good results..

Well there's logic in that maverick, the further you rate your runner ahead of the rest the more you stake on it.. Seems sensible really.

I've seen something similar in some of the punting books I studied, but I'd like to see some P&L figures over three months or more before I took it on.. Logically though if your top rated does Ok then you should be ahead...

So many ways to approach this... If you can go to a TAFE to become a tradesman, or a uni to become a doctor/lawyer where do you go to become a Professional Punter... This learn as you go along caper is full of pitfalls.

Kind Regards
