Final comment because I would like to think I don't care enough either way to debate this past 4 pages 😂 but here is the best example I can provide using the scenarios already given... If SLB takes a single bet on a $2 shot he needs it to win 50% of the time in order to break even. If Nomates takes a 3 leg multi with $2 shots, he needs to hit 12.5% of the time in order to break even. There is no additional risk taken on by the multi option, so it becomes purely stats at this point. Like flipping a coin. Nomates returns will happen less frequently but come with the same risk vs reward based on a horses perceived 50% win probability. Extrapolate the above over the course of the year, and the ROIs would be exactly the same. Nomates gets bigger highs, just not as often. Nomates will have days where 2/3 win but it ultimately wont matter as the 3 winner days will return him back to the mean of someone punting singles, and someone punting "any twos". Conclusion again: There is no value lost or gained with either strategy. All risk is the same. All returns relative to that risk are also the same. The only difference is the frequency of returns. And again I have no issues with the single bet strategy...only the reasoning as to why it was argued as a better choice. Other comment: I'm not sure mentioning the promos page and the plethora of multi promos is the best of arguments. The counter argument being the TAB do odds surge on quite literally every single runner in a Saturday meeting along with exclusive odds, bonus back cash for singles losers, betcha boosts and Sunday surges.

They don't actually round down. What they do is put 1% on each of your combinations, then if there's money left over put another 1% on, and so on until the stake is used up. So where with Tabcorp you might have 10.50% on each combination, with the NZTAB you'd end up with 10% on each and then an extra 1% on the first 50% of your combinations in numerical order. That's why your percentage bet ticket with the NZTAB says "Minimum X%". Some of your combos will be X%, some will be 1% more. -

The Roosters were $20. Not really fancied to do much this year. -
No . I didn't have the same confidence after Jamie left

Shouldn't be a surprise that he's ridden a winner. He's an accomplished horseman riding work and schooling horses on a daily basis.

His grammar is shyte . He gets so excited because he thinks he can stir a bit but he's been rumbled , knows FA , all his knowledge is out of books , has no practical knowledge of what he thinks he knows . And he thinks he's so important he has his posts "published" , not posted like us plebs .

They win shyte mid week races mostly...look at their stats down south from the Southern stable...horrendous, but hey you wear rose colored glasses...I and others say it as it is. -
Chad would be the only jockey in NZ who could school a horse without a saddle or bridle. His balance and leg control are outstanding.

You don't? Tell us all how things have so different? The facts are that there is stuff all difference. But I guess you are now in the "disgruntled owner category"? 100 to 1 this post won't get published as it probably upsets the sensitivities of the protected view. -

There are still 24-25 meetings remaining in the season…he should have a good back half one would think. -
Do you still back that stable with the same confidence ???
-
Do you still think that Idolmite lol . I bet the bookies are on the knees looking up praying . Who would have thought the Roosters would have been towards the bottom as well
-
So true . When Jamie was at TA I backed their horses with confidence . Once he hits his straps over there and gets good quality horses he will show how good he is

And trying to sink the slipper in...here is a fact for you...when he was trining for TA the stable was going much better in terms of top line horses...and form was much more consistent.
