The one thing I'd say is that there are also plenty of races where the each way terms are unquestionably favourable to the bookmaker, both on and off course. I have some sympathy with the on course books, but none for the off course firms whose ability to take fortunes on dog races with 130%+ books means they should just accept that they can't have it all ways.

Let's hope the roads are busy then arrive for the 2nd race and blame the horrific traffic , do agree with Chris B though in that there are numerous occasions when the maths would allow 1/3rd odds a place and fair trading to both parties but that option is only ever taken up by exception as a concession , totally agree it works both ways and until we discover a modern equivalent to suit everyone these races have to be taken on the chin i'm afraid.
Good luck everyone |

adge, ribero1 will keep you on the right track if you're stuggling to give the punters a fair deal. ;)

adge if you are betting to 1/5 i guess you need to keep the rags short and hope that the fav finishes in the frame. I wouldnt want to be half in with you though.
If i was betting in Ireland i would bet without two but i am not sure that the Liverpool racegoers would understand. As it is i will bet win only on the race and hope for the best, probably going with the favourite as i dont like the second fav. My record for the first day of the meeting is not good so if i get the race wrong it will only be par for the course. |

By:
we seem partly in agreement. normally i try not to get too much place money for second favourites but not this one as he certainly has two ways of running [ being polite ]

adge - sorry to have to correct you but your opening post was incorrect. If you have an over round of 109.72% you DO NOT make £9.72 for every £100 taken, you actually make £9.72 for every £109.72 taken which equates to £8.86 profit for every £100 taken. Thank God someone has actually made this point. adge 07 Apr 22:52 bloody accountant Actually it shows an embarassing lack of knowledge and understanding on your part. |

LOL let him think he knows what he is doing. LOL at teh thread title, an education?
You should try one one Betting Percentages adge, and growing a pair and layinga bet without going 1/6th 1-2-3. Oh you might also take a bet too. Old dinosaur bookies are novices up against a proper punter or mathematician. Youve just made yourself look very silly. |

adge tell me something have you ever bet over a favourite in your life?
Do you understand betting %s Do you need to go 1/6th or 1/12th to make it pay? |
