Comment:
The bookies didn't do the form for you here!
I guess punters who relied on the bookies to do their form for them, and so lost on the race, should lodge a complaint with the bookies telling them to do their form better.
I also fail to understand how relying on bookies' odds can give anyone an idea of what odds is "value" for any selection. Unless the aim is to look at the bookies' odds and then try and catch a better price on the tote - with no guarantee of better odds - particularly if you are betting one of the favoured runners.
Anyway, who wants to consistently try and beat a 120% tote market?
