adge, there is none so deaf as those that don't want to hear.

but matching the machine [ commission free ] is common place , tinkler

By:
Matching the machine is not common place only a bookie desperate to keep his business going could say that.
|
|
By:
Anybody that thinks matching the machine price is not common hasn't visited a racecourse for a long time

By:
Bigger than the machine every race, dear oh dear I am starting to feel sorry for the bookmakers on here arguing their case. With these kind of sentiments being expressed they are not going to be taken very seriously.

I dont think they are taking you seriously either Olias,in fact they are having a good laugh at you and who could blame them.

NEEDLE AVAILABLE IN LARGE BANGOR HAYSTACK TONIGHT,COME RACING

These 16+ runner hcaps dont occur very often. ie none today (5 meetings).It would be nice if you oncourse bookmakers could put a higher rate cap on the place percentages though.Say a conditions race or a claimer, 20+ runners, the place % would be in excess of 160% which is obviously ridiculous but not a problem eh.Maybe if you bet to 100% on the win book these type races might show a place % of less than 140.

By:
some fall into the trap of thinking course books bet to those percentages , logistics , led by looking at the sp percentage.
the races you speak of are also rare but a number of course books do pay first four when they do. Cheltenham and royal ascot are good examples |

i,m sure you do sometimes pay first 4 in these adge but somehow i think the 1/7th the odds bandits would just rub their hands in anticipation ! they may even dare to go correct odds a place in such races.In short some races the places are a "pr" loss leader, other races, each way will be encouraged and lucrative.
|
|
By:
that's why it pays to shop around as good offers are out there , generally on the back line. sometimes in 14/15 runner handicaps you can get 1/3rd odds each way but only rarely
I have to say though , I DON'T give these offers |
|
By:
Your arguments would be valid Logistics if punters bet equally on all races. Unfortunately, on the loss leader races you are inundated with lumpy EW bets while on the races where it is in the bookies favour only the £1EW's play the places.

Olias. It's fairly easy to conclude youreally don't know what you're talking about. I notice Wasnot giving a very lucid and reasoned explanation as to your highlight of price differences bookies vs exchanges. You skirted around it because either the answer didn't suit, or more likely you're point is simply not worth the debate
Yes there are issues with on course Bookmakers- but so there are on exchanges. Tried getting more than a tenner on lately at 11am? A little perspective or just leave us in peace Geoff Banks |

It is official...
On course Bookmakers go bigger than the "machine"..... No problem then as Punters flock to Racecourses and lay off on Betfair.Free wi-fi should be a must even at the most remote of courses..... |
