Strategy Tips
1. The Full Card Approach
Pick 7 selections across a full racing meeting:
- 2-3 shorter-odds bankers (2/1 - 3/1)
- 2-3 medium odds (7/2 - 5/1)
- 1-2 longer shots (6/1 - 10/1)
2. Cross-Meeting Strategy
Spread across different race courses:
- 2-3 from Meeting A
- 2-3 from Meeting B
- 1-2 from Meeting C
Reduces correlation if one meeting has bad conditions.
3. Each Way Super Heinz
240 bets (120 win + 120 place):
- Doubles the stake to $240 per unit
- Much more coverage for place finishes
- Popular for competitive handicaps
