29/10/2004 edition Cox Plate and Caulfield Cup Each week we will feature tables showing just how successful
the "smart money" was. To qualify a horse must have firmed 5%
in the betting market. For example if a horse was backed in from $5.00
(4/1 or 20%) to $4.00 (3/1 or 25%) it will qualify. Odds
calculator gives you tables.
When the horse wins, so you can judge for yourself how sensible or otherwise it is over the long term to "follow the money" on the tote, we will also include as an example the the SuperTab tote dividend. Plenty of tote punters will have collected that tote dividend. Most of them would have "followed the money" on the tote. Are they getting big enough winning dividends when they "follow the money" on the tote to cover themselves for when "following the tote money loses"? The jockeys and trainers are also important. You may see some jockeys and trainers consistently bringing home plunges whereas others regularly fail to deliver.
.
No horse firmed 5% in the bookmakers' betting ring at the Caulfield Cup Day meeting.

Especially in Sydney and Melbourne metropolitan racing on Saturdays. It's very unlikely you'll make a long term profit by consistently backing short priced tote favourites. Copyright ©1998-present.
