Rails, I do not think that you and 'Moeee" are on the same tram in your explanation to him.

The question he asked in my opinion is of a more general nature unless I have misread him. it is a fact in Greyhounds, no matter what track or even class of race that the "informed money" goes on late. A lot is put through the Corporates who off load on to the Tabs at the last minute to balance their books.

That is a whole lot different to what you are saying about the very successful punters who attempt to manipulate the pools to their advantage. The last time they were able to do that was the sting at Gold Coast's Parkland when the dog, Lucy's Light who was a certainty and was well into the red just before the boxes opened.

Because of the small tote holds approx $5 to $10 thousand, four of the main chances had $5 thousand placed on each of them just before they jumped. causing Lucy's Light to blow out to about $4. The bitch won comfortably. The trainer Elaine Williamson was not even in on the sting.

But a bookie in Adelaide coped the brunt losing over $600,000 because he bet ' Best Tote " This bookie who's nickname was Curly was a bit upset. The brains behind the sting was alleged to be the owner of a few high class men's Clubs where the girls were reported to entertain a few high profile Nrl current and ex players.

But, the loop holes were closed fairly quickly so now the best you can get is middle tote which is a lot harder to manipulate.

Maybe, you are aware how they are able to manipulate the pools, because I cannot.
