Has anybody checked these regularly to see if they're any good (i.e. competitive)

...and does anybody know if they're available on an odds comparison site (don't seem to appear on Oddschecker)

Thanks obra. Yes, just been monitoring myself. If your on 5% commis, not much in it. Noticed one at 15.0 that was 14.0 on here a few minutes ago. Also, their place prices for some runners seem quite (more) competitive. Just another angle.

the problem becomes that if they get too close to the price on here, they just fling back an offer of a lower price. you get the feeling that they themselves are just laying back on here with those bets..

No the big problem is if there is a non runner,the non runner adjustments are criminal, i back a horse @1.67 on the green tick and a 5/1 shot was withdrawn 15pence in the £ on rule 4, they took 56%

make sense of this if you can 

Appendix 1 - Non Runner Adjustments


a)    The method for calculating the Win Only Non-Runner Adjustment is as follows:

we scale* our original win only book (at the time of bet placement) back to 100% overround to attain a “BEFORE” price for each runner
we remove the subsequent non runners from the market
we scale the resulting book back to 100% to attain an “AFTER” price for each runner
The NRA for each runner is defined to be the % reduction in winnings required to change the BEFORE price to the AFTER price.
So NRA = 1-[AFTER PRICE-1]/[BEFORE PRICE-1]
To apply the NRA to your original odds – subtract 1 from your original odds and multiply this value by the NRA. Subtract the resulting value from your original odds.
To see how our Win Only Non-Runner Adjustment work in practice, go to go to our NRA calculator
*Notes on scaling and overround: You can work out the % chance of any horse by calculating (1/decimal price)x100. The overround of the book is the sum of these %s. The revised % chance of your horse in a 100% scaled book is calculated by: (100/total overround of the book)x% of your horse. The revised decimal price of your horse in a 100% book is 1 divided by this figure, with the answer then multiplied by 100.

Fair point YDNA, although if your betting in the last 15 mins, I guess we're only talking about horses withdrawn at the start.

Any other bookies doing Win only prices ?

Incidentally, I was comparing the Coral place prices earlier with PP, and PP's were obscene. Star Addition (5:15 Red) was 2.86 on PP when it was 3.4 on C and 3.4 on BF.
