Here's an experiment I'm doing this Saturday, for Villagebet.

Can I ask you to try to pick the winner in each race this Saturday at Flemington, by nominating 4 horses in each race.

4 horses in each race! Surely you can tip the card. Surely..

Please also nominate a 5th horse in each race, just in case there's a late scratching.

Entries will be open all day Friday and also on Saturday morning, until about 10am.

Note that the races are starting earlier because of the heat. First race is 10:55am!

In this thread, (press reply to this post), enter your selections by submitting something like this...

Race 1, Nos., 1,8,12,14,(16)
Race 2, Nos., 2,6,8,12,(5)
Race 3, Nos., 5,7,9,15,(4)   
etc...

Copy and paste this template and fill it in:

Race 1, Nos., ,,,,()
Race 2, Nos., ,,,,()
Race 3, Nos., ,,,,()
Race 4, Nos., ,,,,()
Race 5, Nos., ,,,,()
Race 6, Nos., ,,,,()
Race 7, Nos., ,,,,()
Race 8, Nos., ,,,,()
Race 9, Nos., ,,,,()

Note: Try to keep the commas as they are shown here, as it will be easier for me to import into the spreadsheet.

Prize for tipping the card? .. VILLAGE BRAGGING RIGHTS!

Many thanks for your participation. I'm going to collate the data and report results, so the more entries the greater sample size. Thank you!

Cheers
Mayor

If anyone wants to change their tips due to a scratching, just reply and put up a new post, and I'll take your latest post as final.

Thanks for entering!

Doesn't matter anyway - we'd still all be out by now.

What's the aim and hypothesis of this experiment, Mr Mayor? Will it be a weekly thing?

If people enjoy it, we can make it a weekly thing?

I was just reading up about Dutch Staking Plans... where you select several runners in a field and try to guarantee a result. I was just curious as to whether, from picking 4 horses in each race, what percentage of winners you would expect to get throughout the day. For example, if you got the winner in 5 of the 9 races, the percentage would be 55%. What would you expect to get?

I thought if I could get a sample of punters and see what sort of average percentage winners they got from 4 selections in each race, it would tell us the approximate chance of this type of staking plan succeeding.

"Dutch Staking or Dutching is a staking strategy used to divide your stake over a number of selections in a market so that a consistent amount is won regardless of which selection wins. This method is commonly used when there are two or more outcomes in an event that a punter wants to back. Horse racing punters often use Dutching when backing multiple runners."

Don't know if this helps Mayor, it's just a snapshot.
I ran the top 4 in the freely available Qld Tab ratings, then dutched them to win $100 at SP for Saturday races only in metro Syd and Melb..
The race win s/rate was pretty good at 62.7% but lost 11.3% at SP.
I believe that is about what you could expect to get from ANY FREE ratings.
