Dear "Hammers",

We are not as you put it "flogging" anything.

We are giving punters the opportunity, through our contacts in the racing industry, to obtain a genuinely good betting deal with a well respected bookmaker who is polite and friendly to deal with.

The ability to give minimum odds with top fluctuation bets placed only 30 minutes before the race means that punters need never take poor odds, no matter what the market percentage.

Poor value is a real problem for punters who place top fluctuation bets without being able to give minimum odds needed.

The comment about Melbourne and Sydney bookmaker betting odds being on a par with Brisbane and Adelaide is plain incorrect and in any case irrelevant to the benefits for punters of this betting offer.

As an aside the TF betting markets for race 5 at Moonee Valley last Saturday was 105.7%, followed up by 114.52% and 114.16%.

A TF market shouldn't be any more than about 105%. But those markets - three races in a row, bare no comparison to the markets generally offered in Brisbane and Adelaide.(Of course there can be exceptions.)

If Melbourne and Sydney betting markets became consistently just as poor as Brisbane and Adelaide then it would be time to move on and only concentrate on sports betting where markets are regularly around 105% or less for two team or player contests.

Management.
