In Australian horse racing, 99 per cent of punters fail to make money over a 12-month period — and exotic betting is where they lose fastest.

What you'll learn:
- What his trifecta method actually costs to run — at least a $4,000 or $5,000 bank, and long runs of outs of maybe 20 or 30 losses in a row
- What he told the average punter with about $100 to spend on raceday to do instead: go to the track and bet with the bookies, seeking value prices
- Where bookmakers are most vulnerable — small fields — and what his own table of bookmaker percentages showed about the five mainland capitals
- The place-betting rule he hands over: a quarter of the win odds is good value in a field of eight, and bet each-way with a bookmaker on races with fewer than 13 runners
