Iomaca, I guess you can always go to the track. It's not difficult to get better than the "best fluc" with bookies off the rails. All anonymous and no "restrictions" on your 'cash" account. Of course your limited to the maximum course wagers, but still that should be plenty. And yes you have to leave the house

Just out of interest was Lux one of the bookies that restricted you? I was under the impression they don't easily limit, unlike ias, sportsbet, sportingbet, and centrebet. I've become a bit of fan of Lux's best of the best (best fluc / best tote) lately. Of course it's only good for Saturday Sydney and Melbourne, but it is a start.

When I saw BF's new product I got excited, for about 5 seconds, way too complicated - multi tiers, caps here, caps there, blah blah blah... Best tote has been around forever, they're a bit late. And I have to agree with you partypooper that best tote/sp is a worthy product, when best of the best is not available. And on top of that with Unitab throwing down the gauntlet by lowering their commissions on selected races to almost 0%, best tote can become even more attractive. I just wish Unitab would advertise what meetings and races are going to have 0% commission in advance.

Of course if you cannot get to the track, and have the time to sit in from of the PC all day, BF is superior for the over $5 market - there's no question. The real question is will this situation last?

The only certainty in this game is change.
