[QUOTE=partypooper]Thorns, short answer is no, I'm a bit long in the tooth (eg. I'm still using WORKS" spreadsheets, just can get the hang of excel) Bet Fair is still a mystery to me.

I like to put my bets on well b4 racing, obviously I try to do that at the best possible odds i.e (1) Best Tote/SP, (2) Best Tote, (3) ,Best of NSW/Super

I'm now told there is a mob who offer BETTER than best tote even on country meets so I guess that would come inbetween 1 &2.

And as well as all that I back at Top Fluc WHEN available on any nag quoted at $4 or less.

But getting back to betfair, can you just place a bet @ their SP well b4 the race?[/QUOTE

With BF I think you'd need to look into getting a bot if you were wishing to bet, as quite often there is no money in the markets until 5-10mins before the jump. So unless you know excatly what price you are after, it probably wouldn't be the best idea.

@ Bhags, I thought SP was only available now on UK racing?
