    Brin you go on the starting price to work no. of points you get otherwise any fool can pick odds on favourites out. Example if you get a 2-1 winner that's 2pts. At moment I'm 3 pts down that way. Up to you.

    gru, don't get your thought process. If i'm at the races and I fancy the favourite to win then I'll back it and not second guess say a 16/1 outsider. As for the 'any fool can pick odds on favourites' well it worked twice for me today and by the way, favourites don't always win a race, check out all todays winners and tell me if ALL the favourites won their race. My third choice wasn't even the favourite.

    Let's not split hairs pal and keep it simple. If you fancy a favourite then back it but don't expect them to win all the time

    Reminds me of the poster oneaday on here who set out with 100 quid and was going to see how long it took him to double it by only betting on 'certs'. He picked different sports each days and I remember sometimes he bet on tennis matches where the odds were very short e.g. on Federer to beat Ima Nobody 10/1 on. I think a couple of weeks into the experiment he'd lost his 100

    He was called one_a_day, don't know who he was but he did also post on football for a while.

    Looks like he went off to Banter. Not been on here for a couple of years.
