Because it finished 15 lengths behind the 2nd fav, last time out ?   

Big price winners they keep telling us at 66/1. Pathetic.

it suits their partners to pretend 66/1 is the price you want to be taking

@hulk also Graceful Act at 75 lost by a nose. Just another day with clown markets.

Never mind the partners what about their customers?

what about them

They would be nowhere without them.

if they mentioned the odds available here your everyday bookie punter would be on the phone to the police to report a robbery ...

they usually say something like "ah yes but the betfair price might be only available for 2 quid, this 66/1 is available for whatever you want"

the reality of the situation is that the betfair price near the off is available to most people's staking requirements and the 2 quid is available at the 66s

The sad thing is that they will probably limit/ban anyone who backed it. I got banned from 5 bookies in one month by backing long shots. And with one bookie I had a single €2 e/w on a 50/1 shot, he placed and I got banned :D

I find it quite incredible that anyone would seek to back an outsider with a bookmaker.

There's a couple of reasons. 1. They expect the outsider to shorten in price. When I backed my 50/1 he finished second, and yet he didn't steam at all, but I think he should've. 2. some promo for extra place or whatever.

Betting hours before the off is often a risk not worth taking.

Yeah, now I'd back 20/1+ shots only at BSP. I got banned like 3 years ago and didn't yet know what crazy prices are people at betfair capable of laying. I would lay at 160 only if the horse had three legs.
