Thanks for all that P57.
Unfortunately I don't have your knowledge of racing which would be essential to back long shots the way you do (I would think). Often the horse I back is the shortest price in the race and I only back it if the price is longer than I reckon it should be. Hence my search for the best price.
When you are backing short priced horses the sit in front of the computer can be worth it. I often get a price above the final SP or Best div just by watching the prices. The idea of the thread was to see if others had any strategies along those lines.
Thanks again for your input.
