The lower end seems to about even stevens with best tote and less than Top fluc, which would make BOB a better product for conveyances at say 3-1 or less?????

Umm, if I'm reading that correctly you have outlayed $300 and returned $300 - no commission. Commission is paid on the nett winnings on the race only. |
