structuring a quartet bet..

If you play quartets how do you structure your bet to make it a winning bet? i am battling to structure my bet correctly and it is so fustrating as i have all the horses but just cannot structure my bet so its a winner bet...serious help needed!!!

Wonbyamile, how do you structure your quartets?

Wonby, thanks for this post. I have the same problem!! Exactly the same!!!

I generally structure my bet Banker / 2 horses / by about 5 or 6 horses / by the same 5 or 6 horses

i also need help.

I know a lot of people that put the field for 4th place......no matter what, but this becomes very expensive for me

Gb thats my problem.. Usually banker by a few for 2nd and 3rd and field for 4th but i keep on losing .. Im looking for a solid way that i will use for a good percentage bet

Peekay, is it not better to catch 25-50% of a quartet with the field in the back THAN miss it cause you left out ?? ... I seldom take a full percentage bet in the quartet, would rather catch percentage than being greedy and leaving out horses and going OUT....

There are 3 ways I play quartets, all depends on what I fancy and how big the fields are...

Structure 1... Multi perm
Banker x my next top 3 selections x as many I like x field ....

Structure 2 ... Treble float
I have had good success with treble floating with 5 other horses... relatively inexpensive normally i take 25-50% (R30-R60)
Sometimes I will treble float with the field and take a smaller percentage....

Structure 3 ... Double float
It starts getting a little more expensive with this structure, double floating with 6 other horses .... 10-20% (R36 - R72) ...

i also box 5 horses, but tend to be 1 or 2 out

Can you identify in which leg you are going out?

I double float with 4 horses cost me R6 for 5% or Tripple float with 3 cost me R7.20 for 10% or box 5 horses for R6 for 5%.

All depends on the days budget

Depends on the race and what I fancy. My quartet structures are similar to Greg 1 and 3.

I usually double floar 2 horses with either 5,6,7 horses depending on the field. Have a few nice priced horses in the "other" selection. I find this quite profitable especially if you catch a nice priced winner.

Thanks gb much appreciated! Do you ever banker a favourite for 2nd with horses for 1st and 3rd with field for 4th?

That formula is making me dizzy WB....()

I probably have tried that but rather I would rather stick to what I know best....

i bet max R15 on the quartet at a time.

So if i take banker / 3 horses / by F / F, then i will get 1 or 2% for my R15........that's why i don't play qrts that often.
