Hi All,

I know must punters would agree that the bookies offer a better market than the Tab. Sydney is regarded as one of the strongest rings in Australia. If this is the case why were the markets so poor on Doncaster/Derby Day.

This is the full list of markets:
R1 116.91%
R2 114.05%
R3 120.09%
R4 116.13%
R5 122.65%
R6 132.02%
R7 133.25%
R8 126.90%
R9 121.74%

Propun often tells punters how much better they are betting with the bookies. They often talk about markets of around 110% on Saturdays in Sydney and Melbourne.

The markets set on Saturday were a disgrace. You could hardly argue that there was no exposed form.

I usually bet with the bookies but the TAB got my money on Saturday as I got better value on all of my selections.

The NSW TAB paid better than the bookies on 7 out of 9 winners and the other two did not make up any of the three favourites that won.

In most cases the market got worse as the race got closer. Isn't this the reverse of what should happen?

Any thoughts?

Regards,
