Best to go wide in quaddies.

But if you go much wider than 24 selection, say 28 then ur percentage goes well done and quaddie was 4.5k hmmmm.

Unless u hit a massive 15k plus quaddie

I wonder what is the best quaddie strategy then.

I seems i either go wide and the quaddie is small so i lose money or a bolter ruins everything. Just from my experience. I am sure some have won big.

Don't have a crack at it.

After about 10 goes in the last month i have to agree, better off putting 100 on a tri/first 4 in one race and going wide i reckon.

The closest I have come to a big payout (for me) was on Toorak/Guineas day last year. Had 4 going into the last leg, the 3 fav's paying a minimum of $35k and a roughie paying $360k. I had 10% and of course didn't include Our Lorna who won the race. I will never forget that horse, it would have cost me an extra $50 to box the field and still keep my 10% payout and would have won me just over $10k. Oh well.

The best strategy is not to have a go at the Quaddie just for the sake of it , If you like a couple of the races and have a couple of selections you think are way over the odds then have a crack.

I think its all about trusting your ratings . Not just Quaddies but i'll look at Exactas, Quinys , Tris , 1st4s , trebles , extra doubles and doubles. Depending on how my ratings work out and what races the exotic legs fall on.

Last week Walking or Dancing should never had been at those odds , He was out of sorts a little down in Melbourne but previous to that had shown he was more than capable against that lot. Hes a horse i've followed for awhile . The race he was in has been good to me , last year Masai Pride won at ridiculous odds aswell and he's a horse thats an enigma but a fav of mine as i've seen first hand the times he can run. Then again i never rated the race (and last year) because its the time of the year i'm on the road visiting family and friends and holidaying (and checking out the sale) so if i rated the race i might have found a reason not to back it maybe ??

anyway H/W has proven you can profit on the Quaddie , i know its early days but it'll be interesting to see if he has the stamina to go on for about a year

Good luck , you're doing well
