Chrome Prince,

The difference is only betting style.I have few but large,for me anyway,bets on Saterday with [mostly] a bookie, except the fun stuff [a comp. with the handbrake...she is winning] for min. bets with Vic.Tab.

I'm not a good enough Formster,nor do I have the courage to try and make anything on very short priced favorites, regardless of filters. If they win ok you win somthing, but not much considering the risk. I prefere the loosing run leeway of better priced winners.

The place overlay on very short Favorites is certainly no myth.Often the place price is 50%+ of winning price.There is a system based on that but requires a LOT of bets placed seconds before the jump.I tried it once but nearly went nuts with the effort and concentration involved!
I keep away from place bets and as for exotics, the Tab. takeout is over the top.
But back to beting style. All the diversity here, makes the challenge of the punt so interesting!
