Crash,
I disagree with your assertions Re taking short prices. The only important thing is whether or not $1.70 is longer than the horses real chance of winning. If yes then its a good bet.If no then it is as you say an underlay. But what I really want to know is how you get a 17% franked divi out of Telstra? Im only getting around 5%.

Legion,Any punter who keeps backing short priced horses MUST go broke.The fact is that no more odds on favorites win than 5/1 favorites.I've been betting for 45 years and have never seen anyone who can win over a period of time backing short priced horses, although most have tried.As for these horses being overlays, the amount that are is zero due to public hype. Lonhro won but in my opinion his true price was 2/1 and the runner up Clangalang $22 was priced at 4/1, which was a much better each way bet than Lonhro straight out. |
