@GaryMoloney7@Followthebelly Because a real bookmaker will bet to a balanced book with a built in profit margin.
Pay the winners using the money from the losers and take the overround / margin as the profit.
They got greedy.
Getting rid of the money in the market means balancing books is harder to do.
@Jonfanti Was the one I landed on too. We hit the same quite often. I try and avoid Amateur races where possible, but I noted he had run 4/5 times this time last year on turf at 10lbs higher. I'm just so reluctant to put my hard earned into any race where half the jockeys cannot ride.
@Jonfanti@RacingPost I wonder how many bets the average 18yo IT intern at Racing Post has ever had. They could at least get input from people that use the site before paying someone to "make it look pretty" Time to fire-up timeform again ...
@Jonfanti Good luck, am on the same one :
Jack Nicholls riding for Adrian Nicholls 3 from 6 at track.
Last win was over this track and trip from a mark of 60 back in August. Drops back to last winning mark drop back in grade to a 0-60.
@TheRacingSource@AtTheRaces I note that Racing TV is touting the same this morning too. The next advancement may be that we get to see them in a better resolution than if we were to go back to 1981 and watch them on a ZX Spectrum ...
The replays :
@TheRacingSource Just had a look back, 2018 I first joined.
Some cracking results along the way.
Thanks for the time and energy that you put into it for so long. Good luck with whatever you do.
