You know what, I'd love to see some of our forum members giving tips from the betting ring over the Carnival on channel 7, than some of these journalists.
Journalists are journalists, they are supposed to report facts, nothing else.
It's like a fireman being called to deliver a pizza.
Why not get some pro's who know what value is, and know the horses to give some credible advice.
Or perhaps they'll just stick to a bloke who follows the tote fluctuations and another who picks half the field, and a commentator who thinks everything is "marvellous" and "special" and produces wonderful statistics which are essential to the home viewer like "No horse has started in a Melbourne Cup starting with X".
Glad I had the information, otherwise I might have done my money.
Never seen any journo say: The percentages are too high, I'd give this race a miss and only have an interest bet, there's better value in the next race with a very good horse at odds.
