There’s been a “system” written about
quite often on a popular Australian forum for some time
regarding a place betting system that depends on the
approximate dividends and theirrelation
to the approximate win dividend. The rules as outlined
on this forum were:
Qualifies
for a place bet if:-
win dividend is less than $2.00 and place dividend is
$1.20 or better
win dividend is $2.00 to $2.90 and place dividend is
50% plus 30 cents or more
win dividend is $3.00 to $3.90 and place dividend is
50% plus 20 cents or more
win dividend is $4.00 to $4.90 and place dividend is
50% plus 10 cents or more
win dividend is $5.00 and place dividend is $2.50 or
better
The logic of this quite interesting and seems in place.
It means everyone else ‘sets” the market
and you, as punter, pick and choose which anomalies
to take advantage of. It has interested us for a while
and the fact that the person who developed this keeps
writing about it, we thought we’d spend some time
seeing how it worked out.
The rules (as outlined above) did not unfortunately
specify 8 starters or more or if seven and less starters
were also acceptable, so we assumed it was for 8 starters
or more.
Accordingly, the results of our four day trial including
only runners with a minimum of 8 starters were as follows:
MONDAY
19.4.10
Kilmore no bets
Taree no bets
Dubbo no bets
Devonport no bets
SUNDAY
18.4.10
Cranbourne 1 4 Scripps Booth unp
Tamworth 6 2 Morecambe Bay Won 2.10 / 1.50
Tamworth 7 3 Dealers unp
Hamilton 9 2 Eightways unp
Wagga 1 3 Hammersley 2nd 1.40

FRIDAY
16.4.10
Ballarat 2 13 Makin’ Mojo unp
Ballarat 5 13 Belle Diva unp
Nowra no bets
Sunshine Coast no bets
Ballina no bets
Again, we point out that the instructions were not
specific about number of starters per race. Overall
therefore, the results with a minimum number of 8
starters, were
Total Races considered: 189
Number of qualifying bets: 16 (8.46% of total races)
Total of winning dividends: 10.7 units
Return on investments: - 33.12%
IF THE
RULES WERE ASSUMED TO INCLUDE ALL RACES (INCLUDING
THOSE WITH 7 OR LESS STARTERS) THE RESULTS WERE AS

Again, we point out that the instructions were not
specific about number of starters per race. Overall
therefore, the results with no minimum number of starters,
were
Total Races considered:
189
Number of qualifying bets: 26 (13.75% of total races)
Total of winning dividends: 25 units
Return on investments: - 3.8%
Our dividends are based on Victorian TAB figures—
the overall results may therefore differ in other
States
The tests only included these four days and
therefore the results will be different if done on
different days either for the better or the worse.
