FRACTION BETTING take my advice

Ive had access to several years of punting on fraction bettingon my NSW/VIC accounts.
My advice to people is to take extreme care.
There are punters in SA that think that this is the answer to winning on the punt.
I am of the opionion that it will lead to losses on most flexi/fraction investments

TRIFECTAS/PICK4S
__________________________
Absolute trap for most sMALler punters
The tendency for most punters is go wide on combinations at the fractional cost
For example
1-field-field trifecta in a 10 horse field
Usual cost $72 per dollar unit
Punters who very rarely invest the $72 are now spending maybe $7-50 to get it for about 10.4%

I predict over a period of say 12 months MOST punters will accumilate losses
From personal experience[and losses] I strongly suggest to abstain from flexi punts on TRIS+P4S

TREBLES + QUADDIES
Much better option and I have utilised it well on a consistent basis
For example
Multi quad
1-2-3
1-2
1-4-5-6-7-8-9
1-3-8
= $126 for a $1 unit


I like this investment as I can split any leg as a flexi
for example
the last leg I have these odds
1 $7
3 $5
8 $1-70

I can split my investment

1= $10-50 =25%
2= $21-00 =50%
3 =$94-50 = 225% [or $2-25]

This is good as I dont want to have the 3 runners at the same units
according to my markets that I have worked from

THE LAST WORD
________________

TRIS NO
P4S NO
TREBS + P4S yes If you know your horses + dogs well, if not most prob a trap for others

Im right at the top of thr queue when it comes to bagging UNITAB but I must admit I've been pleasantly surprised with the QUADDIE pools on the Trots.

I thought it would take months to reach those levels so I hope it keeps growing. =D> =D> =D>

i used to do rover first 4's with unitab before, just meant filling out 3 different tickets

my little formula was take 3 dogs and rove them with the other selections to place but never took the other selections to win which occassionally led to :twisted: :twisted: :oops: :oops: :oops:
