'the Long List For Places'

[FleetFanatic]

Something I tried today - backing horses to place only with the tote pool. In the end, I had 32 selections, 10 pts each to place - 19 placed & returned 399 pts - a profit of 79 pts. I'm not going to after-event by naming them, but I am keen to see if my selection methods were a fluke. For now, I am not going to mention any methods, merely name the selections, although the process is similar to my small field / distance/ forecast thread. So with a starting bank of zero (level - no loss or profit) here goes; SATURDAY 25TH JUNE Chester 2.30 Scooby Dude 3.05 Aylmer Road 4.10 Sea Hunter 4.45 Ionian Spring 5.15 Handsome Cross Curragh 2.10 Soviet Treat 3.10 Hanicor 3.40 Alexander Goldrun 4.15 Swiss Cottage 4.45 Mkuzi Doncaster 7.15 Outer Hebrides 7.45 Langford 8.50 Isa'af 9.20 Saxon Lil Lingfield 08.05 Distant Cousin 08.35 Seasons Estates 09.05 Fly More Newcastle 2.10 Soldier's Tale 2.40 Wyatt Earp 3.15 Odiham 3.45 Go Padero 4.50 Opening Ceremony 5.20 Danceinthevalley Newmarket 2.25 Dixie Belle 2.55 Algharb 3.30 Le Vie Dei Colori 4.35 Musicanna 5.05 Lucid Dreams Windsor 2.45 Lateen Sails 3.20 Bonus 3.55 Glistening 4.30 Full Spate 5.00 Shamrock Bay 33 x 10 PTS place only with the tote. 330 PTS STAKED.

Re: 'the Long List For Places' Where are you placing these bets? Ladbrokes have just introduced a tote price guide where you can see what the tote price is operating at so you know roughly what the return will be. At the moment they only have it for the win pool but they intend to do it for the place pool too soon. I back horses to place too sometimes but only on Betfair as you know what price you're getting. At the moment using the tote is too random. A 2/1 fav could return 1.4 to place or could return 1.1. At least once Ladbrokes bring in the place pool youll know what price you're looking at.
