Betfair Best Of Four
Betfair is making it even easier to get a great price before you hit the track with Tote Extra.
Tote Extra is available on all Australian racing markets for thoroughbreds and in the coming days will be available on harness and greyhound meetings. No commission is payable on winnings and there's no waiting for your odds to be matched.
Best of 4 gives you the best price of the three Australian totes and the official on-course starting price. Top Fluc delivers the highest broadcast odds from the on-course bookmakers when you bet prior to the first fluctuation.
This is a pretty good deal.
You not only get best of three totes, but best of totes and SP which does make a difference when you consider anomoly prices.
No commission.
Not going to be limited ever.
Harness and greyhounds.
Really this is a huge step, but they have left themselves wide open here to big hitters.
One can easily manipulate the dog pools and then hit them hard.
Of course there must be a tote rebate deal for Betfair, but I'd assume that as soon as Z and others hit, it's going to be limited very quickly.
This is exactly why bookies have specific rules about best tote.
