Tipster Place System

I'm currently following the tips from RSN (NSW races only), free tips and Way2bet. They have been all giving me good win percentages but I have noticed place percentages all are above 70% at usually reasonable odds.
I have done the sums and it appears if I can aim for an average of $1.50 for place I can make a profit. TAB Sportsbet seem to have the best on the run fixed system so I can fix it if it is above $1.50.
