After 4 days use of Betfair, I'm a bit disappointed. The pool sizes are mostly dreadful and the odds on offer for prices above $5 to $6 are like bookies prices, mostly short compared to Stab ect. where the pools dictate the SP price, not exposure fear. For short priced horses, the prices are generally good.

Looked at arbitrage possibilities and personally I wouldn't touch it on Oz. Betfair. Being left uncovered on either the lay or bet side seems to be a real risk, even on a Saturday. The markets here are too small and OS would be the go there but I'm not about to start trying to learn all about British racing and betting.

I did find a few juicy early odds here on Saturday on some runners that I knew were going to later wind in a lot closer to the jump.

Anyway, early days.
