Hows abouts this one LG? (sung to the theme of 'I do like to live beside the seaside)

Oh I do like to have a go at Quadd-ies,
Oh I do like to have a little crack,
Oh I do like to take var-i-ous com-bin-a-tions,
But always seem to end up landing flat-a on my back!

Now for the serious business......

Might be time for some Bon Jovi "Shot down...in a blaze of Glory...."
Went a little skinny on the first legs.

Nice result in the first at Caulfield michaelg!!

I'm off for a G & T.

A bad start.

The method got three legs of the Strathalbyn quaddie which paid $17,000. However an all-up bet would have paid $8,724, so it's still encouraging in this aspect.

The Caulfield quaddie was won. The outlay was $2,058 and the quaddie paid $1,000, but an all-up would have paid $2,300.

I ignored Dombeen because in the first leg some of the selections had only one career start. The four legs were struck, and for the total outlay of $2,832 the quaddie paid $7,200 and an all-up would have paid $4,794.

Tomorrow I'll look at quaddies that have a minimum 9 runners in each leg.

Hi Michaelg,

What TAB dividends are you using because SuperTab paid $3228.50 for the Caulfield Quaddie and it was $2962.70 on Unitab

Thanks, Try.

I got the divvy from Unitab, but I see what I've done wrong. Immediately above Caulfield on the Unitab site is Canterbury, and their quaddie paid the $1,000.

Today's quaddies are:

Goulburn
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9
3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13
Outlay of $2,401

Rocky
1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9
1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 13
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Outlay of $2,401

Geraldton
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9
3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11
1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10
Outlay of $2,744

I have omitted Kyneton because race 6 has only six starters.

Total outlay of a huge $7,546.

A disaster yesterday. I might continue with it in the hope that there's still merit. I had another good day by using the same neural settings in laying the field, so the neural accuracy (in some way) might be worthwhile.

I'm quite intrigued with the comparison of an all-up bet to the quaddie dividend and I think I might further investigate.

I like your thinking here michaelg. Worthy of a further investigation, I agree.
If we put the larger dividends aside, some interesting possibilities open up I believe.

Cheers LG

In my Lay Don Scott outsiders I omit any horse that finished sixth or better at it's last run.

I applied this last-start rule to the quaddies that have been run over the past few days. I also applied the filters that any leg that is a Maiden or where each horse has not have at least one career run then the quaddie is not bet.

The results based on Unitab divvies, and according to my reckoning are:

Mon
outlay of $4,830
return of $11,900

Tues
outlay of $600
return of $0

Wed
outlay of $6,216
return of $11,200

Thurs (yesterday)
outlay of $2,736
return of $3,500

Food for thought?

At this level, yes.

LG
