9/5 on the tele yet 4.8 on here 5/2 on tele and 7.2 on here 4/5 on the tele and 3.4 on here 6/1 on the tele and 3.85 on here
Which way is better for true reflection?

It all comes down to different opinions Sodiology. Sometimes the people on Betfair rate a horse more highly than they do in the American pools. Quite often it's the opposite. When the prices are quite different, at least one of the parties must be wrong.
The trick is to know when you're getting better value on the Pools/Tote than on the Betfair Exchanges and vice versa.

I only bet on the US racing for fun stakes but if a horse is 9/5 over there, yet available on here @ 4.8, it always strikes me as value to surely take it?
Unless as its an exchange people are just laying it for fun as it has no chance

Well there's some logic to that, but it could just be that the 9/5 price is a dramatic over-valuation. The 4.8 would certainly be better value, but it's still not necessarily 'value'. The horse's 'real' chances of winning might only be 5.5 or 6.0, in which case 4.8 would still be poor value.

Also bear in mind that the US pools often have pretty small sums of money in them up until the last minute or two before the race goes off. If there are 10 or 15 minutes to go until the start (especially with the smaller tracks), the current odds may be very different to the final ones.

The prices can certainly change pretty dramatically. It's very annoying when you think you've done well because a horse's price is evens when it jumps out of the gate, only to have it cross the finishing line with 'new' odds of 3/5. Grrr..
