also if you miss your price on the metrops and have to take place SP it is most of the time worse than best place tote.

Exactly aussie, & why I find managing place bets from about the 3-4min mark is the only way to get a decent price, & also allows me to sneak a few trades in now & then.
Also find that some days there are just no overs in the place markets & I continue to get divy's less than the totes after commission, very annoying, but then the next day I am sitting on 20-30% above the TABS.
No rhyme or reason I can fathom why one day is different to the next & I hazard a guess why many punters can get put off using BF when they strike one of these 'bad value days'. |
