Some of these photos you cant possibly pick the the winner, we're talking a nostril at times the that close even the guys on the panel cant separate them , but the betting is showing 1.01 and sometimes you cant even get that , I find it amusing when one of the panel guys says its impossible to call but the betting is showing 1.01 -100/1. Am I blind or does someone have access to seeing the print? at one time you could get fair prices on the photo betting now its just laughable.

Disagree you still wouldn't back 1.01 1,02 at worse they should be 1.2

Why not Lay then,WBA?

Not bad judge myself but the prices you're getting now its as if they know the result.

I agree, that one at Hamilton just now, no way could I have made the winner 1.01 on the rtv feed.

One of them, it was so short you assume someone must have an advantage, so I don't participate.

Rico is very good on photos surely he must be feeling it.

Cider couldn't believe it myself, but it is everyday now.

Probably based on the angle and the true line. But it still requires iron balls when it appears there's a pixel in it.

cos every quid is a task these days..i said to a mate that race at Hamilton its won an inch and unbackable..thats the way it is now.
Report Hugo-Hackenbush September 20, 2026 4:40 PM BST
photos always been my earner..but you can only win a decent amount if they have won an inch and wide apart..ie need to use judgement.
Report Hugo-Hackenbush September 20, 2026 4:42 PM BST
im very very cautious these days as only takes a big loss on a foto then a stewards to wipe a month out.
Report Cider September 20, 2026 4:43 PM BST
It's tighter than in the past, but add in the risk of inquiries you'd need your bumps felt betting 1/50 on something like that. It's only going to end up one way, and that's not positive!

Surely the GPS software plays a big part? I notice a big change about 8 months ago.
Report Cider September 20, 2026 4:46 PM BST
I don't feel like the result is known, but perhaps angles or footage not broadcast.
Report Cider September 20, 2026 4:47 PM BST
GPS can't 'know' where their noses are.
Report uptheirons September 20, 2026 4:47 PM BST
The GPS is in the saddle isn't it,so how can that help?
Report Hugo-Hackenbush September 20, 2026 4:49 PM BST
there was a photo yesterday where the runners saddle was in front of the winners..winner was still very short..obv different size horses mean the pgs could be behind the second as yesterday.
Report Cider September 20, 2026 4:50 PM BST
My hypothesis is a close up slo mo, captured but ordinarily not broadcast on rtv

Fairpoint, just feels kind of automated.

in running certainly is..photos looks that way.
Report Cider September 20, 2026 4:54 PM BST
I've had similar conclusions, but it's not every track/photo. If it looks a relative coinflip, but the market suggests it's obvious, I don't play.

im suprised havent pulled betting on photos..cant see how they can be beating people.

BF can stand the odd small losses but get it back with unexpected Stewards like Bumper at Navan yesterday

In all fairness betting on the stewards feels fair as I'm betting against other peoples opinions, as for the photos doesn't feel the same anymore.
Report Hugo-Hackenbush September 20, 2026 5:10 PM BST
you're 95% betting against the paddibot.
Report WBA September 20, 2026 5:17 PM BST
I totally agree Hugo , sometimes you just like to ere it from others to convince yourself you're not going mad.

I wish anybody the very best of luck betting on Paddywhacker Stewards,because you will need it over time
