Lets get this straight ....If your a winner with bookies they will get rid of you by minimizing your betting or your odds. Ditto betting agencies except TAB and Betfair. Bookies and betting agencies want losers, not winners on their books. I don't give a damn what they say.
It's crap. Been there done that. They can crap on all they like but betting agencies just will not tolerate consistent winning punters, so give the plug for Sportsbet going around here and other threads here [or others] a rest for god's sake. It's a joke!

Crash, sorry you took it as a plug for Sportsbet, they didn't pay me....honest! I did say that Top Fluc was readily available and similar products as best tote also. I was trying to advise a newbie to stay away from the regular totes in the manner that he was betting, which spelt total disaster, at least at best tote he had a chance.

And yes you are correct, in my case I only had a hint of success and the door was closed. I guess the answer is betfair, but I'm darned if I can get the hang of it so far!

Which bit of Betfair don't you get

One suggestion is not to use the Betfair interface, its too cumbersome & slow.
Use BetTraderPro instead to place ones bets.

Party i know of a program with 30 day free trial then just $13.50 a month, normaly is cheaper but the exchange rates suck, glad i got a 12 month sub a few months back.

Sorry Party, I wasn't zeroing in on anyone or writing down names. Just that lately I seem to be reading a lot of recommendations to use Sportsbet. Why just Sportsbet as it's not the only agency that offers top fluc or best tote?

Betfair too of course gets plugged to death [even more so], but that I can understand as it does have some genuine advantages, but not for all types of punters though. Everything has swings and slides.

Cheers mate.

getting on
 

so i guess its thanks god for the tab, now thats something i don't say very often!

Even the Plague had it's up side. It decimated the population and the workforce. All workers after it bargained for much higher wages and improved their lot in life!

What's wrong with IAS?
Personally, Betfair is the go for me.

I use 3 Chrome - Unitab, BF & IAS - & find IAS marginally returns better than Unitab & Betfair outdoes both

I find there is something reassuring about making a quid on the TAB tho..

Provincial and Country meetings i don't think it matter who you use after CentreRacing has axed the C-Tote option but metro tracks Sportsbet offer best of 3 or SP, IAS offer Superprice that is best of only 2 Tabs
