betfair grassed HF in the belief that it would big em selves up as the leaders in the fight against corruption.
it backfired, bigtime, "please carry on betting with us even though you are banned".
thought every trainer , if interviewed, thinks his horse will run well and go close, never heard one say, " my horse can’t win"
more winners drift in market than shorten, some double or even treble in price, still win.
about a year ago he was suspended, an Irish jockey objected to his race summary,
Public demand saw him reinstated shortly afterwards,
he’s like marmite.
personally I could listen to him all night, refreshing,
ps. I also enjoy Thommo, takes all sorts.
bookmakers and punters ,both like barneys coups, good for the game,
the rest can please themselves.
for this trial, the existing boards have had new software that when 7/2 is pressed on key board it translates to 3.5 on screen,
all traditional fractions on key board, just decimal translation on screen.
ie, it would not be possible to display 4.6,4.65, 4.7 etc.
business improving meeting on meeting,
must be the friendly banter or CASH FOR CASH that keeps the punters coming,
like a bet who will survive longest the barry dennis organization or betfair ?
the only rip off, exchanges had both reserves in their betting from previous evening up to announcement 45 mins before off, they then had to make a rule 4 deduction of about 10% from RETURNS.
Plenty of ring bookmakers had been betting with reserves for about 15 mins, to my knowledge the few bets struck on these horses , in my case 2 , monies were refunded without deduction obviously from winners.
Hopefully, the confusion about these horses being runners was helped by me making the LONG journey to the weighing room asking for a public announcement.
the reason the reserves were being priced was, because they were both being traded on exchanges, and unlike when on-course bookmakers realised they were non runners we refunded all money WITHOUT deductions, exchanges had to deduct their rule 4
banned from racing, whats that mean? probably never been on a racecourse in their life.
just start again, another uncle or aunt with a credit card, job done easy.
banned from what for crissake.
BHA no teeth.
confusing posts.
wallace says "that betting is inwinnable"
glen says " horses backed from double figures into fav win and favs out to double figures aint sighted"
cav says " £1 level stakes last 7000 favs shows profit "181 "
cant all be right.
Cav, your figures could well relate to big 3/4 accounts y/e 2009 showing 20% decline in OTC profits.
I know Wit tried to help me awhile back, but didn’t really satisfy my curiosity.
WHAT WAS THE BIG PLC’S PROFIT FOR 2009 PURELY UK HORSE RACING OTC.
cavs stats suggest very low %
