The Each Way Stealing Money Thread

[The Camel]

Just for Ironside (because he wants to win some money) and Monkey Matt (because he thinks you can't win backing short priced horse each way) here's a thread where I will start with a grand and back horses each way in races with 5,8 or 9 (occasionally 10 too I suppose) runners and handicaps with 16 or 17 runners (possibly up to 20 at tracks where alot horses can be safely ignored due to the draw such as Beverley and Chester).

The better the bet is, the more we'll have on.

I can't promise I'll find all the good each way races, but will find enough to have made a nice profit by the end of 2010.

This looks good, please don't get bored and stop doing it by the end of Feb.

Should have started this a day earlier..

Just studying yesterday's card. There would have been 2 bets and two winners Glamorous Spirit (2.00 Lingfield) 4/1 and Lord Generous (1,20 Southwell) 11/8.

Curses!

Am i right in saying we pretty much just back the 2nd fave EW when the fave is odds on and the rest of the field is hopeless?

Pretty much although sometimes 3rd fav is best  and a little more science needed in 16 runner handicaps.

When at Uni and on days off I did a similar thing.

Started off with £10 with a mate and tried to get 17 horses to place in top 3 over a few days.  £10 would turn into £10k if you got 17 in a row right.  Needed odds of 1.5 approx on average to make is which is normally always a available on what Flushy mentions above.  Sadly I never made it but got to 11 or 12 a few times, but a mate of mine did it.

Nothing today.

If you were absolutely desperate for a bet Canadian Blaze 2.15 Catterick fits most of the criteria, but there are 2 or 3 too many runners to make it perfect.

I won't update this every day from now on, just when there's a bet.

if any of you lot can get decent bets on these bad e/w races then you have been doing it wrong.

Trigg is right, but anything up to £100 ew the bookies will sigh a little bit, shrug their shoulders a bit.

Only if you try and get £500+ on will you struggle.

That's not true for everyone though Mr Camel.
A lot of accounts are changed to win only, while others capped at, say, £25 each-way.
I haven't used any of my fixed odds accounts for ages but still wouldn't fancy my chances at being able to get £100 each-way on a second-fav behind an odds-on jolly.

I believe a similar system was used by the successful pro punter Alex Bird back in the day?

Always backed second favourites e/w in non-handicap stakes races on the flat, as long as e/w 1st three applied

I have his autobiography which I am trying to dig out with no joy so far that explains it

Could this be the topic of the year? GL mate I might have a few bets myself
