below is the average winning price of the winners for all gallops meetings covered by tatts bet plus a few others just covered by BF over the past 3 years.
for me it is quite interesting as betting wise i have been suffering over the past 6 months or so because i tend to bet mainly on outsiders and my 2013 results are much worse than 2012.

When i extracted these numbers i now see that 2012 average winner paid 8.14 and 2013 paid 7.75. thus the profit ( after you take out the $1 wage has gone from 7.14 to 6.75 - a reduction of 39c or 5.14 % POINTS- when you are only making 10% POINTS - 5.14% POINTS is significant

In the last 6 months of 2013 the average was 6.67 so it dropped even a bit further. In January 2014 - which as been a disaster the average is 6.42 .

maybe its the start of a long term trend that punters are improving - only time will tell.

these figures are consistent with ones i had in the early 90's so as someone said somewhere else not much has changed really.

Point of interest would be if you took the >$30 winners out. Although they should not distort the results too much. These figures are consistent to 3rd -4th fav. Thanks for posting this.

after you take out the $1 wage

how do you mean aussie?

the dividend is say $7.50 for a $1 wager- thus the profit is 6.50.

Are these amounts the average winning price of your system winners or overall? I would have thought for all races everywhere that the average winning price would be a lot lower than that.

If those are BF figures then the intro of the turnover tax certainly would have had an impact, but tbh it would surprise if the overall tote figures had changed to such an extent, that would be a worry.

not much change really - apart from being harder to read

i wish

overall tab dividends on the winners- yes everybody says that ( they thought they would be shorter) - but it has been near the same number for at least 20 years - probably longer
