Multiple & tote bets help (for Cheltenham)

[Denman]

Hi I often put on quite a high number of various type of bets for Cheltenham (doubles, triples,trixies, four-folds, yankkes, candians, ect.) you name it I've probably put it on I usually have more than one selection in each race (usually a market leader and an outsider) and I tend place my multiples for each days racing seperate (would I be better spreading it out over a couple of days?) As for the tote bets I usually opt for the placepot, but I'm never sure how many lines is best to do. The big problem is I never seem to maximise any potential winnings when I do manage to pick up a nice priced-winners. I was wondering if anyone had any good techniques or advice on any of this?

For me Denman singles are the way forward for mtgs like cheltenham, however i understand why people do multiples, and obviously the industry loves them. When i hear of a big win its always a multiple so why not? However, you may be right considering doing these over a few days with other selections that are running a day or 2 later. This will still give you interest but the L15 etc would be over 3 days with 2 day 1, 1 day 2, and 1 day 3 etc If you are doing more than 1 per race, this is where it gets difficult as its so frustrating hitting 2 nice winners only to be in different bets. You could put the best together & reduce the stake slightly to account for more bets, but at least you will cover them.
