Default Betfair price % advantage

Hoping Wesmip or someone with a database can help me out here. We know that Betfair throw around the 20% better than TAB's figure as there main advantage in advertisements around the place. We also know that alot of that is down to those longer priced horses which get up at 2-3 times teh TAB price. Can anyone tell me the normal advantage BF prices have at the shorter end of the market, ie for horses $0-$5 on the TAB, 5-10, and 10-15?

Just got me thinking, if it was correct that you got 20% better long term, would I be correct in thinking that to be able to lay horses sucesfuly, you would need to be showing around a 30% LOT at TAB prices? I figure, markets run at 102% (give or take), plus you are offering 20% more than TAB, and then paying 5% comission as well which would with a 30% LOT at TAB, you should be showing a 3% POT laying?

This is some thinking after a bottle of red, and has got me confused as all ************y wether I am right in my maths there or not, doesn't quite seem right to me, but cant think of it any other way at the moment.

Any help on my questions?

Cheers
