More foolishness here, I fear.
Since we, who are not in the know, have to watch "the money", is that the early "smart" money which is than followed by the "uninformed" money chasing that early money? OR is that the late money taking advantage of the uninformed money chasing earlier uninformed money? OR is that the middle money hoping to sneak on "undiscovered" as it tries to get the best price? OR is that the money being drip-fed toward the end of betting as the false favourites get all the attention and the"real" favourite is ignored? OR is that a late plunge which brings the 20-1 shot into fives, which then fails 90% of the time? OR is there no way of knowing which is which in all this? Anyone care to hazard a guess?
Shaun. we agree on many things but not on the "utility" of form. Doing the form just means coming up with the "logical" favourite. Since the bookies/TAB odds do THIS for you with no effort at all, I can't see any point to bothering with it. It's like spending all night doing "the form" for "Wimbledon" and ending up with Federer #1, Roddick #2, Hewitt #3 etc when a quick glance at the seedings/rankings will show you EXACTLY the same thing (or the bookies odds), in FIVE SECONDS. Good luck and Good night.
