Eric Penicka wrote about separating ties in several articles in the Follow Up. I have found that when I have a tie for top that usually one or both will be right there.
I only get ties in about 30% to 35% of my playable races and if two or more of the top 2 or 3 ,depending on ties, are bet down below 8/5 or less I pass that race. Lately I have been passing a lot of races that have less than 7 starters.
Thanks for the info. I did use BL/BL to break ties on Friday. I did 50 races and the winner was in top 2 60% (30 winners). 70.84% were in top 3(34-48).
