The round down is part of the deal... it effects all punters. Place or win betting is all about profitable returns and comfort zones. I have a very limited comfort zone and have no trouble placing a place-only bet for 10 times the amount that I could on a win bet, especially when so many of the shorter priced contenders pay not a lot less for the place than they do for the win. Everyone has a different tack, but it all comes down to finding that profitable bottom line.
