Well done Enjay.
Thanks for sharing those findings. The POT may have been stronger using the Pre-post or Bookies opening prices because of the possible lower price being used as the divisor & possible snagging an overlay price on say Betfair. Bookies opening price ,is generally, fairly low, thus the potential for greater overlay prices being secured , thus greater POT. Using those Decimal odds instead of Fractional odds as the divisor into a Take-out figure is a strong way of keeping those outlays to a more manageable level . Especially when confronted with an Odds-on price. Example. Decimal odds as divisor--- 1.70 into 20.00 = O/L 12.00 Instead of .. Fractional odds as divisor --- .7/1 into 20.00 = O/L 29.00 If this where to fall over , it would take a lot more resources to recover using Fractional odds as divisor. This approach will usually work if using a different source for our divisor prices over a short run of outs . If one wants more control again , just use bet sequence 2 2 3 as in say 10 10 15 That way you know your max liability up front. But get the general idea for SR. Thanks once again Enjay.

Hi Bhagwan,
Cheers for your response. Though I was more wondering the total average loss over three bets, using the divisor to work out a bank as total loss with 3 losers in a row would likely end up around 4.5-5 units. I'll roll with 35% SR and 5% POT, Av Div is 105/35 = $3 and work it out from there. Cheers mate and have a great Thursday. The Schmile

Looking at the average outlay betting to take out $20
Average appears to work out at approx 21.00 per venue . Seeing that the theoretical run of outs comes to approx 6 sets of 3 bets. Have a min bank of 12 x 21.00 = $250 Only double take out fig. once bank doubles & you should be right.

Thursday (today) was a disaster with 2 wipe outs from the 3 meetings
Mornington....Outlay $48...Collect $0........Loss $48 Rockhampton.Outlay $22...Collect $22.10..Profit $0.10 Wyong..........Outlay $31...Collect $0.......Loss $31 Loss for today $78.90 I also looked at the previous 2 Saturday's results 14/4 Profit $35.70 7/4 Loss $151.60 I think what may have looked promising could get "very ugly, very quickly" if we are unable to hit our winner in the first 3 qualifying races at each meeting. On the 7th April there were 5 "wipeouts" out of 12 meetings hence the large loss. I think it's back to the drawing board!

Not necessarily back to the drawing board mate, on most days the first 3 races at meeting will generally contain a lot of maidens and unraced horses which make for very bad betting races. I have a friend who is vice president of a race club and they always program the weaker races first as they attract less interest so you want to get them out of the way.
Even on Saturday's the first 3 races are generally 2 yo, lower benchmark races, etc so maybe go back over the past few weeks and do it for the last 3 races at each meeting. Also you could simply choose the 3 highest class races at each meeting and see how they go.

I did a test using something similar for my choice of fav and this whole set produced a 1% pot
This is a weeks worth of races. Code:

Long-term this method will only work if there is a POT at level stakes.
One could argue that backing a maiden fav on a heavy 10 track is bordering on lunacy. So leaving Mornington out the damage was minimal today. Running at a 35% SR we can expect around a 72.5% strike rate of wins per sequence with this method. Food for thought.  The Schmile
