Has anyone else noticed that the prices obtained by the OTP tipster seem to be inflated?
I check with Pinnacle, Five Dimes, Olympic, Blue Square, Centrebet, Sportodds, Sportsbet, TAB Ltd, Unitab, Stan James, William Hill, Ladbrokes and very rarely do I find the top price quoted by OTP.
OTP is a great tipster don't get me wrong but his profit figures are inflated in my opinion because realistically you cannot obtain the quoted price.

I don't really take much notice of those odds because I don't have accounts with all those bookies. If I'm happy with the value that I get then that's what matters. I got $4.25 about Kuerten the other day and was very happy with that, but he was given out as $4.85 on On The Punt.

You can obtain the prices, you just need to be quick and a good shopper.

OTP has a MASSIVE following, and prices quickly drop soon after he has posted up his picks.

sportznut 2nd June 2004 07:03 PM

Yeah, I think you're right. He's just posted a selection for tonight and I went to the Bookie concerned and that price was certainly there.

I'm not convinced.

why hasn't onthepunt updated the tips for recent matches at Roland Garros?

sportznut 2nd June 2004 08:33 PM

He did post a tip for tonight Primo. He left it a bit late though. Basically, he only tips when he thinks there's value and as it gets into the 2nd week of the tournament there are a lot less matches to find value in.

Not convinced about what phil?

The prices are definately obtainable. Many people often can't obtain the prices simply because they don't shop or they try to play the picks long after they've been posted.

He tennis capper there has MASSIVE following. His record should not suffer just because his picks move the lines to a great extent.

It's a free service, he has no obligation to ensure that people following him can always get the price.

Sure, Every now and then you can get the odds quoted but I check the following site which provides all the odds BEFORE OTP puts his tips up and you rarely see the quoted price. I print it off BEFORE AND AFTER OTP put up his plays.Check it out for yourselves.

OTP is a great tipster but don't expect to get the same number of units profit that he gets.
Up to 24 different books quoted.

Yep I use tip-ex...

You're right in that OTP does quote lines from 101 different books. He has that luxury since he doesn't have to justify himself to members :wink:
