I watched Bowhunter go $9 then $2 then $8 [?]
Had a couple of $6 bets on each just to kick off. What the hell.

Crash,
I suggest you download the Betfair Advantage Tool.
It claims that Bowhunter at jump was backable at $10.50 and paid over 20% better than all TABs.
In this instance you probably would have been better off offering to back it at (say) $11.50. Rather than paying the virgin tax.
Chances are for a longshot like that you would have been hit.
If not then you could always negotiate a bit down as a last resort. |
