Back in the day most pro punters concentrated/analysed one race a day (time restrictions) but with the advent of computers it then became easily possible to pretty much analyse 4 or more and in many cases all races (i have done that myself in the recent past) so it seems logical to me if you are going to have say 4 single bets a day to £20 quid then why not bet £18.50 instead and use the excess on a lucky 15? Because if you are going to spend x amount of time selecting your horses presumably you would have to really fancy them to bet each to £20 therefore imagine the situation where all 4 won or even 3 for that matter. That system has worked pretty well for me over the years as long as i had put the work in. Your arguments against multiples are sound when applied to mug or casual punters but use their (bookies) own weapons against them if you are smart/experienced enough and are prepared to do the work. At the lower levels or where you feel the odds are against you just like you have done this week (and i agree with you Cheltenham is a bad betting proposition) it becomes an entertainment bet and that in itself has value. Good luck tomorrow one and all.

Here's the thing if you really fancy a couple of horses yes back them as singles especially if they are decent prices which is what i do but i also pinch a bit of my stake money and find 2 more horses and add a lucky15.

£0.55 return for me.

Only 1 gun firing, £3.40 return

I think we're just a tad shy of meeting the burden of proof with the sample size here! 
Tiny stakes for starters and I'm guessing the winners weren't on the same day. Multis increase your edge if you've got one, L15 with a one winner bonus increases it further. All the rest is just luck, perception, prejudice and your willingness to handle the variance in results when backing multis as opposed to singles. Singles categorically not the optimum approach for anyone who has an edge but that's not to say it isn't a legitimate personal preference.

Wow  zero return again for me .
Someone call an ambulance I'm gushing blood from a wrist wound 

£24.16 back for me

£8.58 back for me

staked £3.00 
returns £8.12 
weekly running total :
total staked £9.00 
total returns £14.01 
so I'm up £5.01 despite 18/1 & 14/1 winners & a 40/1 placed so my theory of backing singles either win or each way Is & always will be far more profitable than multis but hey , it's just small stake fun .
 

Just giving up the grind @LeMale and it's costing me 🤑. Hope your nipples have recovered from feeding all those puppies.

We tried to persuade him not to do things by half but without  success unfortunately! 

Yea, you're right...i am shit at this!!! 40p returned. 
Heard you were semi retiring on here, hope that's not the case? 

Nothing for me.

Great to see you back pal. Your still shit at this though 🤣
