Given this thread is the most activity the forum has seen in about 3 weeks I have a small (quick) query as well.

I know it was quoted that top tote, BO4, BO3, whatever u want to call it is the best odds you'll get around 70% of the time and basically betfair SP the remainder. I'm just wondering is the same applicable to place odds/payouts?

I'm looking at starting to bet some systems in the near future and obviously for the lay side Betfair SP is my main (only) option. But in terms of the backing side (win/place) I'm not sure whether to use Betfair SP or the top tote product.

Cheers (and sorry for the minor thread hijack)
