Re: Trying to ‘attract’ new punters to racing is a waste of time

[Gingertipster]

Before handing over the cash a punter does

not

know

if the Evens, 2/1, 7/1 or 10/1 shot will be the best investment (win). So the

"what’s the value in a big priced loser"

? question does not come in to it. He just needs to evaluate/ask which "

risk

" is worth the

potential return

? And knowing the top price 10/1 shot needs to have a better than 9% chance of winning for me to believe it "value" helps me answer the latter question.

Wish I knew you had tipped The Lark to win Gord. Wouldn’t have backed Sea Of Approval had I known. Where was this analysis before the race? I didn’t see it anywhere. You mean to say Gordie Boy thought The Lark should’ve been odds-on, over 50% chance of winning, that’s over 17% better than the 2/1 (33%) offered!!! Best I’ve ever managed is 12%. Yet you kept it to yourself! Why didn’t you tell your legions of fans about this exceptional value bet Gord? Wish you hadn’t left it until

after

the race.

Value Is Everything
