about 1 in 10 ?
|
|
By:
what do you think 30% of winners have drifted?
|
|
By:
1 in 10 is 10% innit??
 |
|
By:
perhaps too high as bookies also shortening up...say 20%
|
|
By:
1:10 seems a very low ratio
|
|
By:
Of course drifters win even in this day and age when bookmakers shorten up runners to suck punters in.
Bookmakers are never gentlemen and in the punting scene you had better understand that good. A well known chancer on ruk would have you believe the market has all the answers its just another ridiculous conclusion he has come to. |

Drifters(the best kind of value)
 |
|
By:
as a rule - the ones that drift because it has been agreed they're not going to win
generally never win. |
|
By:
i should add - the ones that drift on the place market because it has been agreed they're not going to place
generally never place. |
|
By:
I find the ones that drift several points from about 5 mins to the start right up to off time are the best ones to back

Without a clear definition of what you all mean by "drifters",and a sample size of a few thousand,this discussion is pointless.All we have here are different peoples' impressions of what seems to happen.

Ben.E.King and the drifters were quite successful if this helps
|

By:
I don't think he would have been too successful running around Aintree with a jockey on his back.Hope this helps !

Dhaular Dhar, couple of weeks ago. 11-1 in morning. Opened 12-1 on course, drifted to 25-1, won comfortably. I was gonna check if he went out in price, forgot, still hurts.
Recently there seems to be plenty of value 5 mins. before race. |

I backed Dangerous Age 8.00 Wolver Saturday night.
As I recall it was 8's when backed late morning(7/1 or 15/2) and it won at 12/1. The paper forecast was 9/2 (Mirror). It was CD winner and the more facied horses Agerzam and Trinitylitedotcom (also 3yo's) had never won over race distance of 5f. Generally though I agree drifters don't usually win but more fancied ones are often placed. |

remember reading a guy earlier this year did a study of it and he made more money backing drifters than steamers.
