Anybody who has had the profound misfortune to spend time with me when I’m punting on tilt – that is to say anybody who’s spent time with me in general – knows that there is nothing I love more in life than exotic wagering.
Sure there’s a lovely, puffed-chest kind of feeling about backing a winner straight out but mapping a race properly, isolating who the actual winning hopes are and constructing a winning trifecta is pure bliss.
The only better feeling is constructing a profitable first four; and with TAB putting $2500 Jackpots on every F4 at Tabcorp Park every week it’s high time we found a first four for every race they run.
Sadly, the first few races this weekend are so competitive that we’ll only be playing for small percentages early but I really like races 5,6 & 9 so if you want to focus your energies play most heavily through them.
