And zooot. Depends as well on strategy. If possible to add more bets to a market you can counter the commission rise.
Is enough for me though to concentrate elsewhere. Dont really have time now to commit to Aus racing but when i get a bit of time i will be concentrating elsewhere. When the asian exchanges take off for aus races much better options there. |

When you click on deposit, just above where you enter your credit card details are the 5 ways you can make a deposit, Poli is one of the options ffs

By:
I used to pay less than 3.5 from memory.
can't do any business anymore , so 8% is a prob. because the 8% is a prob I do no business the less business the more they have to charge,the more they charge the less business they do |

c'mon pete .. do the right thing for all concerned at all levels within the racing industry & punters
RESIGN |

I like the way this is going.
V'landys has succeeded in annoying everyone, so even former enemies seem to be uniting against him. There are lots of incentives for punters to steer clear of the V'landys model. And it's likely that RNSW will fall behind even more. Couldn't happen to a more deserving gunslinger. |

Random example of BF compared to fixed price tote
Gold Coast Horse: Fell From Heaven a couple of minutes before off Tatts fixed 3.3 odds - no commission = 3.3 effective odds BF 3.4 odds - less 8% commission on winning = effective odds of 3.208 Tote fixed 2.87% better odds after commission Gold Coast Horse: Game pie a couple of minutes before off Tatts fixed 2.8 odds - no commission = 2.8 effective odds BF 3.0 odds - less 8% commission on winning = effective odds of 2.84 BF fixed 1.4% better odds after commission 8% commission knocks BFs historical advantage rather a lot. |
|
By:
And ..... typically the better chance to win selection will have s smaller spread, so the actual advantage is even less than any apparent difference
|

By:
Unless you are a 20 dollar punter, you can't get on with Tatts anyway.

Betfair averages today per race:
$300,302 Randwick $367,285 Flemington +22.3% despite having an extra race Price sensitive punters that V'landys denies exist have kicked him where the sun don't shine. |

Just set up something for Aus racing - had to specifically exclude 98 tracks with the 8% commissiom rate.

By:
I've also re-indoctrinated my robot to avoid the V'landys rate.
aka the V8? It's getting tougher here, so I reduce my scope. But then I lose too many Bonus Points. My earlier figures suggest liquidity is stronger on the 6% States, so it makes even more sense to focus on Bonus Whoring there. |

Was just thinking how any collect is a good collect when I thought of poor old Zoot seemed to be thinking of ways to convince himself not to take a risk.. Part of the intelligentsia not meant to be a gambler... Hope he is good |
