mike28 182 Report post Posted March 2, 2021 what would be the best way to go about it tote or fixed. If you like 2 or 3 horses in the race and you thing they will be backed would it be better to fix early on would that on average pay more? would it be better to go tote if you like a couple that you think will probably drift in the market thoughts?

Bookies percentages are bad for punters but get closer to tote prices at start time,take notes for free on the fixed price and tote equivalents and get the best price for the most bets .having done this myself for win bets tote prices are better on a 70/ 30 ratio.

mike28 182 Report post Posted March 3, 2021 i just wanted to make sure im not undercutting myself. maybe the fixed price combinations they open the favoured runners might be unders and ends up paying more on the tote in the most part. maybe takeout rate might be higher as well i like to be well informed even if it means asking stupid questions. does anyone know the takeout rates for the fixed multiples eg exacta,quinella,trifecta compared to tote cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike28 182 Report post Posted March 3, 2021 i have had a look at my old posts i can only get it to back to january 2nd this year. there was nothing there that said i dont bet or am restricting myself or anything of that nature i can screenshot it if you like there is another mike on here that comments on here quite a lot it is probably him. What is odd about trying to find out more information about something. your comment was odd cause it had nothing to do with the discussion and was false anyway it sounded like you were fishing next time put the bait on properly you gonna have to do a bit better than that.     Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houlahan's Dream 535 Report post Posted March 3, 2021 I think this is a step in the right direction but still, unlike most Aussie bookmakers, there is no percentage option. I have had some success on 365 with 50% exactas which often pay quite well. But at least you can do exactas as well as quinella which suits me for exotics. Derby exacta if a roughie pops up could be worthwhile.....

Only exotic I can snare regularly is a quinella....exacta like a turbo form of that. I say regularly but if I got two per Saturday I would be doing well...;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guinness 42 Report post Posted March 4, 2021 Its a fair question. When you look at the fixed odds early you have to decide if you will accept the price otherwise wait. Often horses will drift on the day close to race time. The horse, jockey,stable and publicity will all have an impact, its up to you. Just don't be disappointed if it pays better on the day and experience will teach you what to look for. That is unless someone like the Boys Get Paid gets a "special" on a specific race.

Gee the lovely folk at the TAB gave me my monthly 10 buck bonus ,first bet was on over 2.5 goals Swansea v Stoke at 2.35.thought it was gunna bum out but Swansea score a penalty after 95 mins so that won,talk about cutting it fine,so after a few more soccer bets and three bets at Winton I find I make a 200% profit,if only one could do that with 10 grand  but it just ain't that easy. I wonder how long before it's gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note they are talking waves possibly 3metres that's 10 feet,in the tsunami up north,that's a fair bit of water.

slam dunk 1,317 Report post Posted March 5, 2021 Exotic pools are small enough already. Getting bookies involved will only make them smaller meaning the punters still left will terminate their participation.  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
