Not if you follow bookmaker's prices
Not if you do it all around the world
Bookies buy their rollers from odds on favourites going down the gurgler.
Currently sitting on 48% lay success (52% of them win), but it's all about the odds you lay them at.
Seen quite a few in-play bets at ridiculous short prices get rolled in Australia.
Last weekend at least three horses traded at $1.30 (and shorter) and were rolled.
I know you like the longshot backmarkers, and there's probably more buzz and more money to made from it, but I get a buzz (and some cash) when an odds on favourite trades at half SP just because they all go mad in-play and one of your backmarkers spoils the party  |
