Basically IMHO (lol) it comes back to how you price your ratings.
Price to 80% aka Don Scott you are in dreamland.
Price to 100% still pie in the sky.
Price to 120% you should be getting close to the prices on offer.
The "value revolution" as good as it was,has whiskers on it.It worked well 20+ years ago,Don taught us too well.His ratings method is as sound as it ever was.Pricing those ratings the way he showed us is no longer a realistic proposition.
On course professional punters have almost passed into history.The reason?? No "overs" these days....
This doesn't mean that we have to accept unders,simply cop what we feel is a realistic price.Bookmakers prices are subjective,however,if they want to stay in business they have to be competitive with TAB prices.In fact, to survive they have to offer better.
On course bookmakers these days adjust their boards in accordance with the tote prices.Simply because the tote is a true reflection of the market at that point in betting.
Good Punting,,, Bill.
