Bet Smart Tips :: How to Stake Your Doubles

Ok, we've all done it and many punters continue to place the bet that many bookies love. You study the form and come up with two horses that you think have excellent chances of winning. Without giving a second thought, you race to the bookies to place your two win single and one win double only to find your second horse gets beaten. You collect your winnings from the first horse only to find that your profit has been lost on covering the other two bets.

Solution

Start by just placing one single bet to win on your first (and most promising) horse along with one double. A total of two units bet instead of three. Then if the first horse wins, don't back the second, just let the double run it course. If your second selection is beaten, you will have saved the single bet stake. Alternatively, if it wins you will have landed your double and your win bet on the first animal.

The theory behind this type of betting is that you save 33% of your stake on every bet. Even though you wont win as much when both your selected animals win, you need to bear in mind that unless you are a genius, its more likely that the majority of your doubles lose, not win.
