Yeah Louis, you need one to at least place in each race.

Most bookmakers allow you to put on a placepot bet. I sometimes use Bet365 as I find their interface easy but I believe it is available via the Tote menu on Betfair and sometimes Totesport offer cashback on placepots at the big meetings as they did at York.

Dave

I've analyzed all my placepots up to date and have realised a few things. 

1) Using the betting forecast, whether it be Sporting Life, Racing Post or whatever is not an option for a quick & dirty (q&d) selection method. I need reliability so am using Oddschecker and only viewing Betfair prices and selecting horses from different positions of the betting determined by the a) the type of race and b) the amount of runners

2) Now that I have cut out one of the Q&D methods I can re-adjust my perms. For the Q&D I am going to increase one of my lines with 2 selections and increase to 3, this will now give  me 54 lines @ 10p for a 5.40 stake. My 'ratings' method will now also have one of the lines with 2 selections increased to 3 and I will reduce the stake so giving 12 lines @ 50p for a 6 stake. So this will mean a total of 11.40 on each meeting which I'm happy with.

3) I also was getting frustrated in the Q&D method when I picked a fav and another selection where the other selection was a non-runner. To me this was wasting a line so I have adjusted slightly so there will be no doubling up of the fav in case of a non runner by making my solitary single selection the favourite and all the other selections non-favs. This may cut down slightly on the amount of winning placepots but when they hit they should hit fairly big.
