Yes, I'm fully aware of that and use it to my advantage.

I bet within specific price parameters and only within 10 minutes of race time.

Obviously some firmers are as a result of professionally based moves but I think that the majority are as a result of mug punters associating any betting fluctuation with a horses ability to perform well in a race. They see a horse firm a point or two and see that as an indication of impending success.

Punters need to realise that it is a horse they should be supporting, not a betting price and remember that value is paramount to betting success.
