Although my strategy does involve a little extra effort in the mouse - clicking department, the beauty of the system is that the preparation i.e. the bets, are all struck around half-an-hour prior to the race, allowing you to sit back and relax in the knowledge that the riskier punters are grappling anxiously over their keyboards.
I will use Doncaster's 2.55 on Saturday October 25 as an example to put you more firmly in the picture. I decided on this particular event because after scanning through all the racing fixtures, I felt that this tricky handicap could easily provide the closest finish of the entire day's action in Britain, with no less than 22 runners set to be spread out across Town Moor going hell for leather over seven furlongs.
The object of the exercise is to lay every horse in the race at the same short price to the same unit stake, and as I mentioned earlier the wagers must be placed at least 30 minutes prior to the start to ensure that all your preparation is absolutely spot on.
Oh, and one more point that I forgot to make - and it is very important - please 'keep' your lay selections to make sure that the bets can be struck in-running by the 'other side' approaching the latter stages.
For example, let's say you make the decision to lay all 22 runners at 1.5 to £11.
Did you know that the maximum potential profits from this scenario is a mammoth £217.16, while the maximum potential losses from the same 'lay' is only £5.50.
So, in summary, then, all you need to do is to lay a big-field handicap (Flat or Jumps) at a short price (preferably under 3 (2/1), and watch the race unfold into what could develop into a close finish. Because the closer the finish, the better the outcome.Good luck in your punting.
