In our opinion betting with bookmakers at least on Melbourne and Sydney racing will consistently give better returns on horses well in the market, even if top fluctuation is not necessarily obtained, compared to tote betting.

Here is a letter we received and replied to. We are also interested in your views and experiences about tote betting compared to betting with the bookies.

"Dear Sir,
I was somewhat surprised to read your "proof" that betting with bookies is better than betting with the tote.

The whole "proof" relied upon the punter getting "top fluctuation"

Could you please advise how this is done or even better put me in touch with a bookie who will give same.

I am already planning how I will spend my new found wealth

Tote returns have consistently exceeded SP for as long as I can remember."
