Betting Odds

Have a look at these betting odds for some winners from Morphettville last Saturday.

Sure Bet
Tote odds: $1.70
Top fluctuation bookmaker odds: $2.50
Starting price bookmaker odds: $2.00

Thaxted Ridge
Tote odds: $1.60
Top fluctuation bookmaker odds: $2.60
Starting price bookmaker odds: $2.00

Getting decent odds about your bets is nearly as important as the selections themselves. It is just not possible to make money long term taking $1.60 Thaxted Ridge when $2.60 was available.

The bettor who got $2.60 can lose the next bet at level stakes and show a profit of 30% on turnover over the two bets. But if the bettor who only got $1.60 loses the next bet at level stakes there is a loss of 20% on turnover over the two bets.

That's how important odds are.

You Need Top Odds

It is just about impossible to get a high enough strike rate backing short priced tote favourites and the poor value tote horses to make up for the big unders on the tote.

If you regularly get poor odds you must lose.

Short priced tote favourites
are losing bets.
