Just an observation...

Murray Bridge Race 8

#2 Desert Demon Wins

NSW TAB $7.3 118.23% Market
STAB $7.1 118.56%
UNITAB $11.10 117.87%
AUSTOTE $15.10 100.62% (there is a small deduction from that dividend depending on your activity max is 5% so a minimum divvie of app $14.30)

Didnt check what was bet on Betfair

Having an account with each, the NSW TAB could possibly have a bank 1 third that of the Austote bank... it doesn't get a run too often.. I think we can see why...

This sort of thing is no annomaly it happens day in day out... and yet we still maintain Accounts with the Big TAB's ... Why?

lmfao.. Think you are asking for trouble with your mate from another thread. Are you suggesting that it is worthwhile trying to get best div? lol..

But in reference to your question, I have not used any of my TAB accounts in the last 12 months. If I think that the totes will offer the best price (at a guess about 5% of the time) I will bet on IAS superprice. I generally like to bet fixed odds anyway. Not a fan of surprises. Nothing worse than underbacking my selection because it got backed right in on the totes.

nah not asking for anything.... just making a point... I don't have an account where I got the top odds tho... so I settled for the NSW TAB divvie, which was about 50% of the Austote Divvie... there is some software I believe, that can make the placing of bets almost painless, and pretty simple... in regards to getting the price you want... using multi accounts.... may be worth looking into

I have always advocated looking for value for your selections.. nothing new there BJ.. just illustrating how the big boys are falling behind in the returns in most cases... Even Unitab in this example was better than the big 2 .. thats why I Asked why do we still have accounts with the big 2... we are doing doh hand over fist

I think all ups go into the win pool... I am not sure about parlays, maybe someone will know.. and I think they effect negatively on the divs from STAB and NSW TAB

I have a Unitab account specifically for exacta betting - Just seems that consistently pays better divies than NSW and STAB....
