Can anyone direct me as to how to find the betfair final results, i.e the betfair SP.

I can get the results as in finishing position but I need the final prices?

Thanks Shaun, but when click on RESULTS it just gives me finishing positions, i.e. numbers 1st 2nd and 3rd, what I want is final prices .??

And the data site gives me archived results but not todays? I'm sure its just something simple that I'm NOT doing as I have seen the daily results on there before?

Cancell that, I've figured out how to collate the list on the top left, not exactly what I was looking for but it'll do.

What I am impressed with is that, the 18 races I was interested in (involving 36 bets) showed 16,2 units profit with a mixture of Top Fluc, Best tote/sp and best tote,

using betfairs closing prices they showed 22,16, I'm bowled over, but b4 I get too excited, is that closing price what they then call SP?

As I still havent figured out how to place a bet @ SP?? any help?

One more thing, what is BF-WAP?

Hey Party,

SP betting on BF for aussie racing has only just started again last weekend, and from my understanding, is only available on Wednesday and Saturday metro venues. Those prices shown on the site are the last avaialable at close, so while they arent intirely accurate, it gives you a good indication of what your results would have been, as with the prices moving all the time, sometime you would have got higher, sometimes you may have been matched at a lower price.

From my research using these figures though, it all seems to balance out nicely with my real world BF results.

One last thing is that remember you have to pay commision on those winning as well, although I beleieve there is an option to have the prices shown with the 5% deduction already applied from teh settings menu on racing.betfair.com.au

Hope that helps.

Thanks Thorns, yes that clears it up a bit, bummer though as I wanted to place my bets well b4 racing, but its everyday so will have to think that idea as I just cant sit in front of the comp.. permanently

Anyway thaks for the help, by the way interestingly when I ran the numbers for those same selections for the place, best tote was BETTER than Bet fair by 1&1/2 units wierd.

Again yesterday, radio tips top 2 = 17 winners, combination of Top Fluc and best tote = returns 62,8 units, same horses @ betfairs closing prices =68.16units again a diff of 5.36 units I have to say that I'm most impressed so far, like what have I been missing??

Did you deduct the 5% fee for betfair?
Plus a few more bits and pieces along the way

shucks forgot about that! but whats these bits and pieces?

is the 5% deducted from WINNINGS only? and if so;
is it from each individual bet?

I will check my account Party, but I stopped betting on betfair for many reasons, one of them is that somehow I get small charges I can't explain.

True I must admit, I'm not full bottle on it myself, not to mention I can't, nay, I will not sit in front of a computer all day.

I'll let you know.
