I tend to play mainly (but not soley) with Mark Read. The overs on the two main dividends that I picked up on Saturday were $ 30.29 compared with a SP of 20/1 and $ 13.70 compared with SP= 7/1. The first one was a DIVIPLUS and the second on was a BETADIVI (Western Australia). On the other hand, I was screwed on Rubitano as top fluctuation was something like 7/1 whereas I only got $ 6.83.

Overall, over the past few years, I have found that Mark Read is quite good value. One way or another using fixed odds or Diviplus, I reakon that I have somewhere between 5 % and 15% average better odds overall than chosing one method or the other. One of the keys is being able to identify shorteners. There are often horses that IAS will lay at 9/4 that start at 7/4 and then on the longer ones, Diviplus is usually the go.
