JJ Flash 2,115 Report post Posted April 18, 2021 Great racing at Randwick yesterday and the 3 fancied runners from NZ all got beat. The winner is NZTAB who would have been on a real hiding if any or all of them won given Multis and All Ups etc. What surprised me most was how they were prepared to offer generous odds on all of them. Its easy to bag them and many do on here but they showed some real nuts yesterday IMHO tasman man 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I doubt the word generous familiar at TAB. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betting on horse racing is a different ball game these days. 50 years ago there would only be a few races per day to satisfy entertainment and gamblers so therefore a reasonable take was warranted. Nowadays punters bet on far more races and through various bet formats. Its like a casino where they rapidly turn over the plays and as a result take only say 2% per game. The casino would quickly be out of business if the games such as blackjack were framed to rake in 20% Some corps web sites actually show the market% and at times I've known them to get down to 105%.

Your the one saying “just quote us the market % at any point” and now trying to say the aus corps get down to 105%. Who was it? When? Dynamic odds shows the market % for all the corps and if you think they ever bet 105% then good on you but your wrong.

We're Doomed 4,824 Report post Posted April 19, 2021 I thought all three were false favourites, so they could hardly have made them any shorter. They were just reflecting the odds in Australia. I was probably one of the few who left the Oaks filly out of my picks in the comp, but I thought the other two would run a place which they did. And if they have the NZ horses any shorter that means they have to offer better odds on the Aussie horses which leaves them open to a greater liability.
