sound logic once again there partyp,

getting the best price one can certainly is the way to go, i would add that also attempting to identify when a selection represents poor value & passing not just backing at any old price just because the 'system' says so is worth some thought.

with regards to best price, time constraints of late have often meant ive had to place most of my bets on well before start time (which i normally hate doing because it meant betting with the tab), but i have had a go at betfairs 'sp' & so far its held up when compared to tote prices.

some of the shorties have been under but the longer priced nags have all paid over the tabs, on one ocassion >$5 better , interested if anyone else has had a go?
