Please pass our thanks on to Chris Proudman of the University of Liverpool (27 March, p 9). Following his three tips for the Grand National, we calculated that if you placed equal, each-way bets on all three horses and achieved just one place, you would cover all stakes.
We put this into practice by wagering £90, split equally over the three horses on each-way bets. The result was, in fact, a win and a place, returning a profit of £285.
Any tips for the Derby, Chris?
