Last month i was looking for another option for my Stable Runner bets as i needed to free up my betfair account for other things but wanted the best prices i could get and since i have runners any day of the week i wanted best tote every bet so i had to have a look around and this is what i found.

IAS

CITY SuperPrice
CITY SuperPrice is the final payout offered by IASbet at the close of betting that always guarantees to pay better than the 3 totes/TABs. Available for Win bets only on all metropolitan horse racing in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide & Perth.

SuperPrice
Australian SuperPrice is the final payout offered by IASbet at the close of betting that always guarantees to pay higher than at least 2 Australian TABs. In fact SuperPrice often exceeds the payout of all Australian TABs.

Conclusion


There were a lot of other bookies out there to check out but some i found hard to find the info i wanted and did prefer to stay with a well known bookie.

On metro racing most offered the same product but i found Sportsbet had the best options as they paid best of the 3 tabs or SP on all metro races but also had the best options for place punters paying best of the 3 tabs for the place.

If you are after best tote and top fluc in the one bet for metro then Luxbet would be a good choice.

When you are looking at none metro races there are a lot of different options to choose from and some of them i found a bit lacking but the best option i found for midweeks racing was Tom Waterhouse who offers best tote on all races also have to point out i loved the online registration and ID verification, nothing to send them as they verify using Database like phone book and electoral roll.

In the end i decided 2 accounts would be best and went with Sportsbet and Tom Waterhouse.

This is my own personal opinion that suited my betting style as i was not playing exotics you would have to check out each site to find the best options for you.
