That must surely be an all time low for early prices. Even by their lowly standards that is really despicable . They must think people are complete retards. How does anybody bet with these people, and to make things worse if you wanted to have a decent bet they wouldn't even lay you .

That is a truly mindboggling reply, i give up on this place. There is no point really when this is the type of imbecile thats on here.
I defy anybody to give me one logical reason how they were right. They went 8/13 a horse that was returned 5/6 and 6/5 a horse that was returned 11/8, what the fukk were they right about ? |

I have an increasingly predominant thought regarding the activities of the bookmakers . They are all run by risk averse accountants , not sportsmen as used to be the case generally in the old days . But once the bean counters take charge , the only one allowed to win is the one who sets the rules ( ie the prices ) . A la governments .
There are no rules , everyone knows that , the betting jungle nowadays is the devil takes the hindmost . Anyone who exhibits an ability to win consistently ( or even to beat the book irrespective of ultimate result ) is easily identified and marginalised . Better get used to it , and mergers etc only make it easier for them . On a personal basis I find the now the only place you can get "value" is in running , on here , but obviously that depends on the others involved , who generally are not the afore mentioned bean counters . But in running is a bit hit or miss , and with tme lag scalpers around it is fraught with problems . Not sure where the market place and activity will finish up , hopefully for us sports fanatics there will still be a bit of fun to indulge in . |

Spurs to buy big is on the ball, one time it used to be 4/9 and 2/1, then it went to 15/8, 7/4 13/8, 6/4 and has now arrived at the truly horrific 4/9 and 7/5, would powers have the cheek to price a match 4/9 and 4/5, because thats the way bookmaking is going.

They don't want your business.
They want criminals,drunks and compensation receivers,they also want problem gamblers despite their protestations. They are licenced and a condition of their licence should be must be prepared to lay a horse to lose a certain amount. You cannot make them bet to certain margins. |

Theres close to a similar scenario in the 5.25 at tipp tomorrow Mincer 4/7 fav and 7/4 in a 8 runner race, sportbook have it 8/13 and 7/4 in the same race, not quite as bad as your example ,but bookies are taking no chances.
