Gees some of you blokes make punting hard for yourselves.

Its a wonder you have time to put the bet on.

It's a sad day when I agree with darky.

Hahaa. Beton I'm not going to revisit the nuts&bolts of the past, but if the reason you started this thread was to say, "Adjust your Pre Post market for scratchings and overround", then I agree with you.

The only thing I don't like nowadays is the creation of synthetic pre posts by the online bookmakers and the admitted trait of individual sports editor's amending the pre post figures to suit their own agenda. All of this could steer a punter in a direction to suit the hype being created by write-ups and advertising.

Let me take you on a visual fantasy to another planet called Mars. The Mars Cup is coming up and Big Bucks the online bookie has assembled his staff for a Monday morning briefing. He tells them,

"I've got the inside info on the Cup and it's that gremlins A, B or C are the main chances. So get onto the press and push gremlin's D & E as favourites and get them to frame the Pre Post around them. In the meantime, I'll go on national Mars TV and tell the punters that if D or E come 1st or 2nd, I'll pay for the Win. That should get them in."

Hahaa, take that with a spoonful of laughter, it could never happen here, or could it....???

RCP, almost sounds like a word for word exerpt that a bookie who is regularly on TV now would have, goes by the name Dom Squatterhouse.

If you want a fun drinking game for the rest of this spring watch the coverage on free to air and skull a drink each race he says that hes 'Taking this one on' (referring to the favourite)

Leading indicators eh. Don't you just love 'em? More fun than a nicely buttered slice of slap 'n tickle.
