Hi stugots,
my standard bet which I do not deviate from is $200.00/ race.
It could be and mostly is for win , sometimes each way or very rarely place only.
I only bet in the price range of $5.00 and over, usually in the teens and twenties.
I have no problem with Betfair prices, but so far I have never had a full match for anything above $10.00. On weekdays it's even difficult to get matched for the full amount under $10.
I'd love to bet on Betfair because the prices are much better, but by the time I have to muck about between BF and the TAB, some times I miss the race.
With the five bookies I used to bet, two asked me to stop and the other three put on restrictions to a very low level.
You do not have to win millions to be restricted either, just be consistent in winning week in week out.
Have not bothered with some betting sites that PartyP was mentioning here because in my price range the TABs are better anyway.
Bookies are good or better than the TAB at the short end of the market, no doubt about it.
But check out prices of a 20/1 shot on the TAB and you'd be lucky to get 12/1 from the man.
Good luck
