Need some advice please :)
I'm doing the free A bets to a 3% stake and not quite sure what I should do with them today - Keith recommends dutching two so what stake should I use ? Should I calculate how much I would in if the one with longest odds wins and stake to win that amount ?

i'd put a point on each scat possibly calculate for a guranteed profit ie split 2 points ie 1.2 points on the fav with o.8 on the other one or whatever portion gives the same return for each .

it's not uncommon to have 2 bets in the same race - so i will probably put seperate stakes on each.
if you were to dutch it would be probably best to use double your normal 3% - as there are 2 selections.
I normally divide my 3% stake up, so that the return is the same if either hosre wins:
If you use the dutching calculator, it allows you to enter the prices, and your total stake. It will then tell you how much to put on each.

Thanks guys :) Using 2 points and dutching to make a profit makes sense - don't fancy going 3% on each horse as one is odds on, and splitting my already pathetically small 3% would be embarrassing !
Just hope one of them wins now :D
Well it did win Scaaty
:spinning
My 3% is embarrassingly small too, I'm hoping it will grow
Size doesn't matter for us, anyway (unlike for the men) :wink
