Does the business ....beating the short price fav ....making a nice profit on the day 

Great minds think alike my friend.

Sorry, somehow i didn't see this and just repeated what you said i think. 

Ew 5th ....was hoping for a better run but cest la vie

A couple of hopefully helpful points and what i do is...if you can wait until about 5 mins before off, their prices jump up but sometimes not for long. (this only helps on single bets and long prices, the type that i pick, not sure if this happens on lower prices so might not help you) The other way i kind of get around no BOG is, half my bet on sp and half at the price, makes me feel a little better if it drifts and wins/places. But if the price is way below everybody else go with sp. Doesn't answer the question you asked, but hope this is a little helpful. 

If you want to "equalise" it, the simpler solution would be to split your bet 50/50 and bet both. Or you could just man up and go for the biggie and accept the loss when there is one.

Pop on live chat, I'm sure they'd share it! 
 
Probably sometimes one, sometimes the other. Whether the price is worth taking in the first place depends on your assessment of the horse in question. The obvious thing being, if you're going to back it each way then take the best place option. When the price differs then you have to make a call. I'd tend to say pick out your horses first then see what the best price/terms you can get are. Don't let the number of places "tail" wag the dog. I suppose one measure is to calculate the % of runners you're getting in the place terms, e.g. 5 in a 16 runner race is 31.25% of the field while 7 is 43.75%. That gives you a comparative measure. Then work out the % reduced price you'd have to take.
I'm sure that might be the basis for some sort of comparison formula but I'm just spitballing; I'll leave @MCLARKE to finish the job off! 

I had to pay over £8 for a pint of Stella Lager and a small bottle of still water in a Wetherspoons up in London recently.  My favourite beer was Fullers ESB when it was managed properly by bar staff.  No one seems to manage beer properly any more in pubs. It puts me off buying the stuff

B/Fwd - 70.65 L15's; RC P/L -96.55 (incl L15's)
Had 3 x 0.10 L15's on the Daily = 4.50 pts staked for 12 selections
3.35 San Amirite 1 pt ew at 5/1 7 places*
= 6.50 stakes
* Has anyone got a formula for working out where the value lies in taking Sky bets extra places e.g. I took 5/1 ew for 7 places whereas I could have taken 6/1 with Bet365 for 5 places.  Hopefully, Michael @MCLARKE and/or some other mathematical mastermind can come up with an easy-to-use method for me

It is indeed very complicated and there is no easy answer.
I did a fairly small analysis when I was allowed to bet with Sky and the conclusion I came to was that you should take the extra places but select the bet at SP because they do not offer BOG in these races.

A formula might be tricky given the variables (difference in price, how many extra places you're getting, any difference in the place odds fraction, how many runners there are etc.). My gut feel is that only losing a point on the price for 2 extra places isn't a bad deal (though you don't mention what the fractions were for the place elements). I remember reading an article on the subject with regard to extra places in golf outright markets and it concluded that the value was usually in taking the extra places even if the drop in price seemed steep. Admittedly we're talking bigger prices and fields there but I suppose the point is that the instinctive reaction to reject a bet because the price drop is too big might not be correct. Clarkey can probably give a more informed view based on his data stockpile!
