Hi all
I've noticed in recent times and it's possibly been going on for quite some time, that the favourite in early markets drifts quite often and I'd be better off using the best of three totes with starting price option. I use Bet365 and it was really good when they had the above option combined with the fixed price offer. That has changed and we don't get the lot combined to give us the best. The other problem recently is we don't get the official bookmakers starting price on a Sunday with most country and provincial tracks.
Back to the drifting favourite price yesterday, four of my eight early price favs drifted quite a lot.
Flem R5 $4.00 to $5.60
Rand R6 $3.40 to $$6.20 (lose)
Flem R7 $2.35 to $3.40
Morp R8 $2.40 to $4.40
That makes a hell of a difference to the bottom line and I'm now going to use the best of three totes/Sp from here on I think.
What have others found and consider the best for returns.
