Just use percentages.
useing you example of $10 with 3 runners at thses prices the first 2 are saver bets
$3.00 = 33.33%
$5.00 = 20%
$7.00

to get there percetanges just divide thier price by 100 example 100/3.00=33.33
to work out your bets put 33.33% of your $10 on your first selection thats about $3.50
20% of your $10 on your second selection thats $2.00
thats leaves $4.50 for your main selection
this will work on more runners as long as the percentages are under 100



Sorry i miss read your post to get the $10 on your main selects useing above prices just double them....it is always easier to work out the saver bets first and then see what you have left over....just remember that the main bet needs to return enought to cover your savers
