Hi,

First time poster - not sure if this is ok to ask, but I was wondering where you guys put your horse racing bets on. Im in victoria, I punt at my local TAB, but even compared to the online unitab dividends, the vic tab seems to take 10% of my margin for itself most times. I've looked around online, and the sites I've found list similar sort of odds.

Do you guys call up bookies directly? Or do you get decent divs somewhere online? (Preferable!)...

Any advice would be appreciated..

Cheers.

Welcome, Usurper.

I am in the U.S. so I bet online through YouBet.com and AmericaTAB.

This is an excellent forum with great tips. Enjoy.

Regards,

Glenn

Good luck.

Thanks wes, I'll check it out. I've been watching your time analysis thread as well.

Usurper,

If you bet into tote pools, you are already costing yourself money.
Either bet with an online bookmaker or Betfair, where the commission is reduced.

It's a bit like choosing between petrol that has a huge government whack added to it, or running your car on vegetable oil where there is no government rake

Sound advice - exactly why Im looking to get out of the tote. Been looking at Betfair this morning, looks pretty interesting, but I'd just be taking money out of your pockets! (that's confidence )

Don't gamble

Haha, thanks. It's a calculated limited risk event, where the capital is expendable, based on a varied system I've derived, which seems to work, for now, and I want to maximise my returns while the going's good!
