Neither of them have enough value for me, so I think I'll be going with Imperial Commander, or possibly Tricky Trickster as en E/W shot

im not the biggest of gamblers due to the fact i know nothing about racing and seem to be a complete looser when placing bets.

However keep the tips commin im up for following some of them.

Is it common sence to go E/W on every bet?

I agree and think Tricky Trickster each way is the real value bet. Leaving out the big 2 its not a great field IMO.

I never go each way unless the odds are 6/1 or greater.

I normally dont start until 15/2 or 7.5 myself ..

yesterday at towcester races the person in front put down a £2.5 e/w bet on the 4/1 favourite ... and couldnt work out why I was pi55ing myself with laughter ... it came 5th anyway !!

Best odds are 16/1 and you should get 1/4 odds for a being placed.

If you risked £10 each way (£20 staked) and it won you would win

£160 + £40 and get your £20 back.

If it was 2nd or 3rd you would get back £40 plus £10.

Thats the easy bit. Is it worth it ? Rule 1 is do not risk £20 if you cannot afford to lose it. Apart from that it is what I regard as a value bet as coming 2nd or 3rd turns in a decent profit. The horse has also won at this track and is with a proven trainer.
