Has anyone else noticed that their early prices
have become very uncompetative.

6 months ago they were top or joint top price
on far more horses.

think it's because he now guarantees prices 12 races a day, and often on a saturday does 2 full meetings.

TBH I gave up on Betfred a long time ago.  I like to do L15's from time to time but even with Betfreds better bonuses for one winner or all four up, their odds generally compared to B365 are so uncompetitive it is more sensible to bet with B365 who have meaner bonuses but better prices and BPG applied to all L15 selections.  Betfair Sporting Book beats Betfred in nearly all races.

asheigh--good point and I think they now do 2 full meetings every day.
I'm comparing with 6 months ago when they were BOG on every race during happy hour.
And their prices on non BOG neetings are equally poor.

betfred banned me after 1 losing bet on a 5.0 shot because it was at 4.5 elsewhere :D

Betfred are like all the rest. Great when they give free bets and extra places. A chocolate teapot when they gubb you

Seems to continually push the mickey mouse, boosts a plenty on those, at least 15 in the boost hour on Saturday
Report JML October 27, 2024 8:23 PM GMT
This must be the time when they were doing triple odds lucky 15 and best price guaranteed happy hour.

Doesn't seem like 7.5 years.
Report JML October 27, 2024 8:25 PM GMT
Or even 7 years.
Report Regbutler October 27, 2024 10:09 PM GMT
Still the best on the high Street for punters, imo
BOG on 3 meetings a day, 1 of which from 12pm onwards, and no limit on the bonus you get from BOG unlike the others
100 quid allowed on pushes

Not an apologist for Fred but better than the rest, imo

Reg-is it still treble odds for one winner lucky 15?

Was my most profitable stratedy ever in terms of % profit.But turnover was limited to about £300/day max

Doing his boosts blindly (if you could get on) was profitable until he stopped BOG on them.

Also 10% boost on CSF's on BOG meetings, which not a lot of people know about!

JML... no, cut to double odds one winner on a lucky15

The best one he did in the shops, imo, finished about 5 years ago...
Between 9 and 9.15 he would revert to the prices for his firm as in the pricewise table

So, if a few had been gambled in overnight and/or tipped up in the Post, you would get the original prices submitted to the paper the evening before, in that 15 minute window

So, you might have 6 or so horses halved in price especially in the big Saturday handicaps, say 25s into 12s,16s into 8s....etc

You could do them at the bigger prices in singles, multiples all with BOG, treble odds on a lucky15 and bonuses as well

Happy days

Things will only get worse, in terms of value and pricing, if the government impose a greater tax on bookmakers in Wednesdays budget.

BOG and extra places may well disappear from all bookmakers and 3% per runner races will be comon across the board - in effect the punter will end up paying anny extra tax through lower bookmaker offerings.

I visited a Bald Fred outlet yesterday in Whitley Bay but only because I was bursting for a pee and the lavatory door was locked in William Hills also in Whitley Bay
