Becareful....go to oddschecker.com, they list about 12 bookies there (including exchanges), I have accounts with 6 of them.
Umrum....it's not as simple as backing a runner e/w just because it's odds on, it's what an odds on favourite does to the place % that counts.
Rogan Josh.....no, I back every runner when I can. See reply to Umrum. Backing a 4/6 runner that gets a place returns you 58% of your outlay. Why is it then, that @ 4/1 running a place only returns 100%, when it is 6 times the price?, surely it should return 6 x 58% or 348%. Please don't write back that the 4/6 place getter is a loser because that would show that you have missed the point. When there is an odds on favourite it greatly reduces the place % & that is the advantage that I look for.
