There has been a lot of talk about the high percentages the bookies in these states bet to. I was at canterbury today and as a matter of interest watched the market our local interstate bookies were giving.
Remember these are rails bookies who as far as I know are all Multi Millionaires{ no wonder). In EVERY race I checked,in the first five in the market they were under fluctuations with 2 or 3 nags and no better prices on the long shots. Here is one race I wrote down and believe me all the others were the same. The percentages on the monitor at the jump were 145% so what were the fleas at canterbury betting to.

ADELAIDE BOOKS 2.25-6-5-8.5-7-5.5
SYDNEY FLEAS 2.0-5.5-5-8.5-7-4.6
So if adelaide was 145% what the hell were the sydney millionaires betting to. Yes these are sour grapes because the least I expect to get is the odds in the home state. Oh and by the way it wasn"t because they had taken big bets on certain nags they were ALWAYS under from the start of betting.
