I hve always had a close interest in the Late Mail. But I wonder how it performs against the Favourite and Most fancied by the tipsters.

I think it has a benefit, but how much I do not know. Quite a few are not the favourite, so let's see what the consensus is.

In April this year I thought I would check the late mail tips. I only did it for 14 days but I found that if no commission was subtracted and using Unitab prices you would of won +$111.50 LAYING all late mail selections.

It was reduced to winning +$14.40 for laying if it was also the 100 rater, +$29.70 laying if it was also the fav and -$0.50 laying the late mail if it was also the 100 rater AND the fav.

Pretty small sample size (473 bets) but there you go.

Interesting stats none the less TO.

I've often wondered about the LM tip when it is not mentioned by the radio or guest tipster. I've got no records but it just seems to come home well often???

I agree with Twobets. Which is why I bought it up. But sometimes appearances is not reality.

So I guess it might need further research.

The good thing with this sort of system is that it is readily researchable as all the info is there on Tattsbet (Unibet) going back a number of years which is not the case with say the R&S site for checking of other things.

That's all I did at the time - Just went through every race in Australia for a period of time (it was part in February and part in April now that I look a little deeper) and came up with that.

I never looked to see if they weren't tipsters picks or not.

When the late mail is not any other tipsters selection the results are approx a loss of 22%. (1770 total bets)

That is based on tatts odds only.
