With the totes it's also a consideration that some horses, particularly in later races, may open very short because of a big allup bet going into it. As the pool swells most of the money is for the other runners who are over the on course odds because of the shorty.


Thanks Mr Magic, I never even thought of that.

I like Privateer's attitude. Sounds like he picks his horses first and then only bets them when the price goal is met.

I'm less discerning, but I might check my figures and see if any short priced losers have done my dinner. Doubt it, a bet is a bet in my method.
