Cox Plate

[Benny]

I'm not sure if this belongs here, so here goes.

I just looked at the fixed odds for the cox plate.

Marasco $3.60 with sportingbet, but $4.00 with IAS
Miss Finland (my tip by the way) $3.60 with both.
El Segundo $4.20 with both
Haradasun $9.00 with sportingbet, but $8.00 with IAS
Apach Cat $26.00 with sportingbet, but $21.00 with IAS.

I'm taking

Marasco $27@$4.00 at IAS
Miss Finland $31@$3.60 at Sportingbet
El Sugundo $26@$4.20 at Sportingbet
Haradasun $12@$9.00 at Sportingbet
Apache Cat $4@$26.00 at Sportingbet

I will make a profit no matter which one wins.

Don't forget that.....

a) if one of them doesn't start you've done your dough.
b) if another horse wins you've also done your dough.
c) if Dylan Thomas starts, he'll win ;)

... just to win at most $11.60

Better than bank interest I guess. ;)

Or you could have used betfair and increased your odds for the horses as follows :

Marasco $4.30 instead of $4.00 (7.5% extra)
Miss Finland $4.60 instead of $3.60 (27% extra)
El Sugundo $5.60 instead of $4.20 (33% extra)
Haradasun $9.20 instead of $9.00 (2.2% extra)
Apache Cat $32.00 instead of $26.00 (23% extra)

Good Luck.
