Another way of framing a more accurate market, is to take the prepost market and combine it with a tipsters poll.

The proviso is that it must cover at least ten individual tipsters.

Convert the prepost prices to percentages.
Allocate 3 points for a win tip, 2 points for a second place tip and 1 point for third place.

Add the points to the percentages and reframe the market to 100%.

So a $2.00 shot will most likely end up $1.80
a $5.00 shot will probably end up $4.50
But the other untipped horses will drift.

Just like the real thing...only crunchy

You then have a lay price and a back price before anybody else does

It will also identify when the prepost market is out of whack.
It's not always accurate, but it's far more accurate than potshot prepost
