Looking at all selections that had 160 (and not 140 as originally listed) points or more regardless of field size (except those races with four runners or less so that a Place divvy is paid) seems to have performed better over the three days. The results are:

Sunday
13 selections for 10 winners for a return of $25.30
11 placegetters for a return of $15.30

Monday
2 selections for 0 winners
2 placegetters for a return of $3.50.

Tuesday
5 selections for 3 winners for a return of $8.90
4 placegetters for a return of $6.10

Today:
So far there's been 3 selections for one winner of $2.40 and one placegetter of $1.30.

Still to run:
Launceston 5/9.

Over the 3 days there were 20 selections for 13 winners for a return of $34.20, and 17 placegetters for a return of $24.90.

The Win strike rate is 65% and the POT is 71%.
The Place strike rate is 85% and the POT is 51%.


Here is my take - not trying to be 'smart', just make sense of the numbers...

Winners - Detail:
13 selections for 10 winners for a return of $25.30
2 selections for 0 winners
5 selections for 3 winners for a return of $8.90
So far there's been 3 selections for one winner of $2.40

Winners - Summary:
23 selections and 14 winners => SR 61% and POT 59%

Placings - Detail:
11 placegetters for a return of $15.30
2 placegetters for a return of $3.50
4 placegetters for a return of $6.10
So far there's been... one placegetter of $1.30

Placings - Summary:
23 selections and 18 winners => SR 78% and POT 14%

Combined - Summary:
POT = 37%
Proof: 62.8-(2x23))/(2x26) = 0.3652

Hopefully one of us is correct or it'll have to be another g n t for me and I am already palming a large one here!

PS Assumes $1 each way. Now I wonder what the overall POT would be with a $1 WIN / $4 stake... $1 and $6 anyone? Don't get me started!
