Hi Everyone,
I'm sure that someone else has the same problem I do and maybe they've found an answer. After a deal of research of the S-Tab results I came up with a nice little "tweak" to my investment decision. I only have about five to eight races per Saturday or public holiday and I might have one to five candidates per race. The final decision on which horse to pick AND THE AMOUNT TO BE INVESTED depends on the TAB price. The problem is that the TAB price showing at 5 seconds to start time can be vastly different (in percentage terms at least) from the actual divi.
The result that prompted this lament occurred a few moments ago in Bris. where Burdekin Blues was showing $1.70 with seconds to go yet paid $1.60. Not a lot in dollar terms but 14% difference in terms of POI and I would have plonked had I known the eventual div.
Is there a way round this problem or have I just found another way not to win?
Cheers
Ron
