Results for over two years have now been updated on a weekly basis. We have not kept a running total of the difference between tote/bookmaker.
Anyone who has been following these updates over a period of time will know where the best odds are for horses starting around $5.50 in Melbourne/Sydney on a Saturday.
A race full of unraced 2YOs is of course generally another matter. The tote still bets to 120% but the bookies, in order to try and avoid insider knowledge hitting them badly in that type of race, set understandably high % markets.
They CAN LOSE betting on a race.
All the tote does is lower the price everyone gets if more money comes for a horse so that the tote MUST WIN on the race.
