Racing October Daily Punt- A cup , A plate and trip up Everest

[Waca Jr]

Question for the punters, particularly horse racing. What sort of a betting strategy or staking plan do you generally try and stick to? My biggest issue is I get involved with races I really shouldn’t. Sometimes it turns profitable, but more often than not.

An example is those stupid midway races on a Saturday.. let’s be honest nobody should really get involved.. but ya know JMac Waller.. 1st up.. $2.50 ..

For me, Let’s say i’am walking into Caulfield on Saturday. Already having backed broadsiding at 4s.
I’ll have my “bank “ for the day let’s say it’s $1000..

Across the Melbourne/Sydney/Adeliade there are 30 odd races to choose from and no i’am not counting Wodonga or some Western Australian random track.

Ideally I find by 3 best bets regardless of the price and bet accordingly based on a % of bankroll and confidence. Maybe 10-15% Into a quaddie/doubles and a 10-15% fun bets to make it interesting.. nothing big but maybe a tri/f4 for interest.

Is there something else I can or should be doing that might help with my overall management and staking other than the obvious of punting at Doomban, Donald, Kemba ect;

I'd steer clear of Adelaide and Perth for one. The level of racing is a rung below the eastern states. Its different folks for different strokes. I'm personally a win only bettor unless the horse I like is longer than 10/1. I proportional stake and always stake to win a certain amount on the race even if i back multiple runners. Do you monitor betfair? Often you can cotton onto a firmer before some of the bigger firms wake up to it. The last 5 minutes on betfair and the tote is where the bigger syndicates show their hand. if you can see the trend early you can almost guarantee to beat the SP

bit risky with NTD but a place multi of Pippie Beach + Captain Furai looks alright.

It won, i wouldn't complain. Trainer surely knows more than the owners though...

Can't hear anyone complaining !! He has a tendancy at the end of the race to 'turn off', reckon he needs something to control that......
Thanks for your input anyway
