I'm having some success with a Place system based on the higher end of the market, which also has been profitable with Win but I don't bet as it will interfere with my laying.

I'll list today's selections and see how they go...

Hobart
2/14
4/5
5/10
7/6

Kalgoorlie
2/8
3/2
5/1

Nowra
2/2
5/7

Alice Springs
1/2
3/1

Strathalbyn
1/7

Sun Coast
1/4
5/12
7/7

I don't mind the small meetings because of the distorted divvies. Yesterday at Mackay I had a good day with two placegetters, paying $2.80 and $4.10.

Nice work mg.

Are we still talking open v closed methodologies?

I'm unwilling to disclose any method on an open forum.

However, if after a week it has been successful I'll list the rules by private e-mail to any forum member who wishes.

There have been two selections already run. They both won, the first paying $3.60 and $1.40, and the second $1.70 and $1.04

Brilliant stuff !

Long may the placings continue.

The Forum Curse has struck.

From the 15 selections there were 9 placegetters that returned $12.38 on the NSW TAB for a loss of $2.62, there were three selections that ran fourth.

Don't muck with that Forum Curse, Michael!!!

Yes, but is there anything to bribe or even conquer it?

Two selections today:

M'brook
3/1

Wodonga
3/12

Hi michael,

Rather then start a new thread at this point I just wanted to ask with lay betting, does the runner you lay only have to miss first place or does it have to finish outside the top 3? or is there the option to choose?

Michael is often not available in the afternoons, so, if I may, the answer to your question is that you have the option to choose. You can lay for the place as well as for the win. Go to the B/F site and have play with what is available. Nothing happens to your bank until you hit the "Place Bets" button. Good Luck.

It depends if you're laying for the win or for the place.

For the win it just has to come 2nd or worse.

For the place it has to come 4th or worse (provided there are at least 8 runners in the race - i.e. where a third dividend is paid).

I hope that makes sense.
