Of course, you can't guarantee anything in racing. If you look at my past postings you will see that I make a living out of trying to back everything at the best price I can, & after many years experience you get a feel for which horses will blow, which will come in & when the price is just about at it's limit. Still, you can't be right all the time, just so long as you're more right than not. Re Northerly I would have been happy to lay it at $1.25, $1.3, $1.33 because I believed he was a genuine risk at that price. The $1.25 was there for a few minutes for an amount of $5000.
There is money for every horse in a race, I have never seen a runner going around at say 20,000/1 on the TAB, every runner on a Saturday has some support, it's just a matter of how much at what price. What Becareful is doing is just using the markets for good business, & no he/I won't be right all the time, but if you can pick up some $$$ with no risk then you can't beat it. I would rather take the risk on getting the prices right on 1 or 2 runners a couple of times a day than going the punt, as you can see from how badly I am doing on the tipping comp.
