How good is this? In all of yesterdays racing there were 19 money back place dividends paid on Unitab. There were also 2 dead heats for places that paid money back but that is to be expected. So in all, punters had no chance of winning in 19 races on certain place investments. Someone once said to me that "if you can't win you can't lose". Doesn't seem to apply to Tabs

think it might be hong kong where they guarantee a minimun divy, equiv if $1.05 or so, absolutley no excuse for that not to be the case here

I don't bet for a place but as there seems to be string of place betting topics on the forum of late I thought it fitting to mention the poor dividends paid out by Unitab. Hope nobody is placing their bets with them.

Vic. TAB pays the best overall.

I was told by someone that Spotsbet was the best place for place betting.

$1 min bets

Can't be bothered working it out on those 19 that Beagle was talking about, but it very often happens that when one tab pays money back or 1.04, another tab pays 1.30, 1.50, so surely you have to bet at BEST TOTE (Sportsbet)

But Sportsbet only offer that on Metropolitan meetings!

Merryguy, that's true , for Country meets it's still best of NSW & Supertab, chances are that the highest of the two will beat Unitab, or at least be better over time.

Another approach though, is to bet half of the stake at Unitab and half at Country best (NSW/Supertab) that way you always have AT LEAST half your stake on the highest payer and sometimes all your stake and sometimes equal.

Find a few decent longshots to back for the place. You'll go broke on all this $1 plus a few cents business!

Crash, maybe, but a 20-1 shot finishing 7th doesnt' pay a divi, by the very nature of things 20-1 shots will win one race in about 25 or 30, and place somewhere around one in 10 or so (don't have the exact figures around) so not much point getting a $5 divi is it?

Hee hee, keep yer pants on Crash, just stirring!! hahah!
