Or maybe they do care but just couldn't be bothered replying to someone who apparantly has very little tolerance for other peoples views????

For what its worth I agree that Best Tote will ON AVERAGE be better than TF for anything except fairly short favourites. For favourites the difference is fairly marginal (although I think you will find the advantage on TF is bigger for major metro meetings) so the betting decision will probably come down to other factors (eg. size of bet, when you want to place the bet, etc). Until recently Divi+ (or the Sportingbet equivalent) was not available on all races but now that it is I would agree that it is generally the best option for the AVERAGE punter who just wants to put a bet on without too much hastle. Of course for those willing to spend a bit more time then you can often improve on this for shorter runners by comparing Divi+ approximates with SP and with Betfair.
