SP Returns

always the very late money that finds the winner.

No matter where we watch the live prices they could be different. Racing TV, a bookies or b356 for example. They aren’t all gonna be showing the same price for every horse.

the fact the bookies accepted the new regime for SP returns probably tells us all we need to know.

I think this has been going on for a long time.

Fair point. Livenka 4/5 on Racing TV with two to be loaded returns 4/6.

It's been going on for a long time. I regularly attend Ascot and nearly every winning horse I back, the SP price is shorter than the price I took on track (shortly before the off). It may be weighted bets in shops feeding back to the ISP is biased towards favourites, causing the top of the market all shorten. But even when I manage to win on a longer price, the SP price is seldom higher than late shows on track.

As was pointed out on a similar Thread last week -

The OFF-Course 'Big Firms' now both Control and RETURN the 'Industry SP.... and the Betting Shows are no longer directly, or rather Solely,  from the Racecourse.

The consequences, therefore, hardly needs working out.

Same as the cartoon racing then!
Why would anyone bother with Doubles, Trebles, Accas etc
Better off a fun placepot

2.15 Catterick. 3rd fav withdrawn. Last show as the last one went in was the winner 2/1 and second 6/4. Winner returns 7/4 and second 11/8. So they've cut both plus theres a 15p Rule 4 on top of that. Absolute robbery.
