SUMMARY
‘Win or not to win’
PLACING YOUR MONEY
A question that pops up repeatedly is whether it’s better to bet for a win, a place or each way.
I decided some years ago that place betting was not profitable. At least, not when I used my own selection methods. Even with an 82 per cent strike rate over a period of time, I still managed to lose money on place betting.

Although I seldom bet on an each-way basis, I am quite a regular place-only bettor. I operate a separate bank specifically for the purpose.
