The vendor for this method states, “Place betting has always been a bit of a ‘Marmite’ in the betting world. Some people love the comfort that if a ‘dead cert’ horse doesn’t quite perform as it should it’ll still finish second, or possibly third. Others argue that if you’ve done your homework and picked a ‘winner’ you should have the confidence to back it to win.
The first ‘genius’ part for me is the type of race we select. As I’ll explain, this means we have around a 37% chance of our horse making a place. We’re not chasing Favourites at very low odds – yes, they win but they aren’t value bets as the odds are so low. My main frustration so far with this system is that there aren’t more selections to bet on! But of course, that’s the point – we see a nice flow of winners including some real surprises at high odds precisely because it’s a selective approach.
