Not exactly what I said or meant Hammers. However, I should have been clearer and used an example.

Yes Party, that is exactly what I mean regarding price.

I never said those good place prices never happen though. Happens all the time, but so does $8.00 win and $2.00 the place.

All I am pointing out is that to except those sort of place prices is poor punting strategy [ripping yourself off].

I was never saying that place betting per se is a rip-off [nowhere in my post that I can see].

One could say though, that generally speaking, place prices are often [very often] poor value compared to win prices.

Cheers.
