With some new products available in mind, does any fellow systemite have any data comparing totes overall. What I mean is of course we are better off backing at best tote cos we get the best odds on that particular event, but over time does Supertab beat unitab etc etc. or does it even out? eg. say all winning favs. any difference in overall returns over many bets?

Whilst on the subject try to avoid Supa for exotics. They jacked up their takeouts a few years ago, so, it is no surprise that most corps pay out at Supa divs. NSW beats them hands down.

I find the TF performance unusual.
i bet that there are some results that don't have a TF number recorded and it is coming back at 0 and that why it is comparatively bad.
just my opinion but i thought it would have come in at around 12% LOT
and certainly better than the tabs.
the fact that best tote + sp improves best tote seems to confirm this

i have always said best tote is 6% points better than single tote and your number of about 6.5% improvement confirms this.
that's why the sporting bet of best + 5% is so good.

now if we could just get them to take our bets.

thanks for the numbers

Hi aussie,
This was for all races, all prices where TF was offered.

thanks CP.
Well there must be some other problem then because there is no way TF returns worse than the TABS.

either way thanks for the numbers.
as i said before it just shows how valuable BT +5% is

Aussie,
It's the favourite longshot bias, far more pronounced with outsiders with Top Fluctuation, then there is the firmer and drifter bias.

thanks for the feedback Speedy and Chrome, what I'm trying to evaluate is a comparison between Best Tote + 5% (Sportingbet) Best Tote or SP (Sportsbet)

Best of Tote or Top Fluc (luxbet) or the new Vic tab + 10% (Unibet)?

At the mo. I'm leaning to Sportingbet, as its available all races every day, but this new one from Unibet has me asking the question?

Of course we then have to compare with BF SP, which I'm sure OVERALL comes up trumps but as I've said many times before not on the lower end of the odds scale (I believe)

Now what would change my life in an instant is: Best Tote+ 10% or Top Fluc. (whichever is the greatest) I'm certain that it will come.

Especially for the place i.e. Best tote + 10% OR 1/4 the odds of Top Fluc whichever is the greatest! (8 runners +)

THATS what we want!!

All well and good PP, but you will still face the issue of having your account restricted if you consistently win with those corps, so are those products really anything more than advertising gimmicks?
