Maybe I am missing something here, but surely as doughino says, if you are part of a syndicate which has the financial clout to cover a large number of horses in each race then you are in a stronger position than me with my £2 single line?

I think what you were missing the post immediately above yours.

Syndicates only have financial clout up to a point; the notion that they can buy the pool has proven to be erroneous on many occasions. It is indeed a level playing field, and the small punter gets the same (or better) value for his individual stake as the big boys. His chance of winning each week is correspondingly smaller, but the risk/reward ratio is the crucial measurement.

Sorry for going a little off topic but regarding big syndicates playing for big pools the following link(see post #6) is regarding the "biggest" syndicate playing for a large pot and how far they had to go to limit their loss when winning it. Although its about keno, the poster "hobbes" was one of the three biggest of the big regarding horse betting in the world.
