Hello,
I have now finished my first week of trialling Betfair prices, upon the insistence of fellow forumites, with the promise of better returns. (By no means am I saying that I was pressured into it!)
Keep in mind that I only bet on long shots that HAVE a VERY good CHANCE to win or place!
With this week behind us, I can definitely say that, Betfair is better, for long shots! for the place only!
For win bets in my price range (6 to 25) I get far better prices on Supertab, most of the time.
Having computed all the bets and returns and made the comparative charts, I have to say, that over all, despite the (only 5% deduction which you have to calculate into your bets BEFORE not after), in my price range I am better off with the TAB, and No! I have no shares in any TAB!
I still can't get my head around lay-betting and probably leave it at that. Have collected, even in one week, more of someone else's money than I should be entitled to! Sorry!
Good luck to all.
