There is a theory that instead of backing runners in order of market prices at the trots, punters should give consideration to backing runners at the inverse market prices.
To be more specific, punters should consider those runners at the fourth to sixth line of betting and work back.
Only back those runners which show a gradual reduction in price utilising skychannel facilities.
I'm talking about the 10-12/1 shots which flash home in the last 300 metres and invariably pay excellent place dividends.
We'll see how it goes.

Does anyone bet seriously on the "red hots" these days?
Sure, I, personally, have a wager when it suits me, but I am always wary of this particular betting medium.
During the week, there are numerous opportunities to have a bet but for the unwary, this is a potentially catastrophic betting proposition.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this matter?

Cheers.

After today at Harold Park inclined to agree with you. In all serious the pools at Harness racing have increased in last few months probably because of the tvn mess up and most meetings are covered now on home sky and people do like betting on races they can see.

Yeah, there are a number of short priced favourites every meeting ....BUT....are they value and in the long-run, is it worth betting on this particular medium?
What about when a well-fancied runner inexplicably "breaks" and loses all chance of winning?
It happens all too often for the average punter to accept.
As far as turnover is concerned, shouldn't the authorities ensure that the betting public have confidence in the product?

Cheers.

With the system ive been using, backing short price favourites over the long run has turned into a disaster. Get a $1.20 favourite, a $1.50 favourite, a $1.30 favourite they all might win and thats 3 on the trot. But as soon as you have a loss, back to square one. You need a very high strike rate, and well 50% isn't good enough to make a profit. So i ditched the short price favourites, if i back them, its in the multi in a standout tri or exacta to get the value.

Anybody out there have any "horror" stories where the driver has sat motionless while fast finishing "swoopers" have "swamped" his/her runner and eventually ensured that this/your runner has missed a place?
Looking forward to any similar occurrences.

Cheers.
