Place Betting, Is It The Way Forward?

[Ricko]

Wasn't a bad day for me overall today, but could have been a lot better. Wasn't an easy day to find winners and i told myself i was backing all my fancies in the place market only at the start of the week, but i can't seem to resist the big prices and the rush of a big winner. Would have made a hell of a lot more had i done so, with the likes of VPU a certainty to place, but always likely to find one too good.


Does anyone play place only and is it the road to steadier profits? Or at least smaller losses

I have had 6 seconds, I think.

I don't look like a girl, so therefore I would find it difficult to bet like one.

Heh, good point well made. But i'd happily wear a skirt to the pub if I were making money every day.

Well I am a girl [if I may stretch the age consideration a bit] and I'd be very well down this week if I hadn't bet in the place market. It's esp good on big handicaps where you can get decent prices on the place. Why be ashamed if it? Punting isn't *just* about amour propre, one's macho image, and boasting rights - it's about coming out on top financially!

If you can get on with them, the tote are doing place (1,2) and show (1,2,3) bets at fixed odds.

The Place market on Betfair isn`t the best for value. You don`t get 33/1 pokes at 8s to place.

A Way Forward?

A Way Sideways would be a result for me.
