The idea of publishing these Punting Secrets came after I gave clients the winner in the 2009 Melbourne Cup thanks to my tips and betting strategy where I recommended clients win bet three horses - Viewed, Alcopop and Shocking (the winner).
As I illustrated with the 2009 Melbourne Cup it is possible to bet more than one horse in a race and still win. My suggested win bets for example were 25 units on Viewed, 20 on Alcopop and 10 on Shocking. These bet sizes were determined by dividing the expected dividend into 100 because by doing this you engineer a return of 100 units on each bet regardless of its price.
The final (VicTAB) prices for my three win bets in the Cup were $9.90 for Shocking, $5.30 for Alcopop and $5.20 for Viewed. Viewed was a bit longer than when I originally put forward my suggested bet sizes so you could have reduced its bet size to 20. So for a total outlay of 50 units you would have got back $99.90 for Shocking. And if Alcopop or Viewed had won you would have got back $106 or $104 respectively.
So in summary you need to cover the main chances and bet them with bet sizes that give the same total return. To work out these bet sizes just divide the horse’s price into what you want to get back. For example in the above examples we take 100 divided by the price to get the bet for each horse. You could however divide the prices into 50 or whatever you like. The main thing to understand is the bet sizes will be larger for the lower priced horses and smaller for the longer priced horses.
I also suggested with my Cup strategy that you look at fixed priced markets as well as the normal TAB markets. The reason for this is not just because you are guaranteed a fixed price but also because the fixed prices can be better than the TAB prices. Often this is the case with the more favoured horses. Mark Read’s IASbet specialises in fixed price betting and even allow you to take the top fluctuation provided you bet 45 minutes or more before the start of the race. Cup winner Shocking paid $11 Top Fluc with IAS and over time it is definitely worthwhile chasing these extra dollars.

Those of you who followed these will have had a great day as the winner came from the top 3 in 7 of the 9 races (I have added in the results so you can easily check this).
