I only ask because most handicap books are to a 5-10% overround which sort of suggests you are disadvantaged from the start.

I am a little naive when it comes to things that aren't at a 100% or lower book because I just feel you're generally on to a loser unless there is a huge field which gives more room for error on the bookies behalf.

Someone set me straight and give me confidence to back handicaps.

WW, On here the Asian margins are not so good as people offer whatever prices they think others will take. However the big Asian firms like SBO and others do margins to 2% which in theory make them a better bet than high st fixed odds with 5-10% margins. Thats my limited understanding of it anyway!

Oh I rarely use Betfair to actually have a bet, odds are pretty nice but I don't like paying commission and with all the bookmakers out there, you can normally find a better price anyway (at least on anything but horses).
