The other problem recently is we don't get the official bookmakers starting price on a Sunday with most country and provincial tracks.
Back to the drifting favourite price yesterday, four of my eight early price favs drifted quite a lot.
Flem R5 $4.00 to $5.60
Rand R6 $3.40 to $$6.20 (lose)
Flem R7 $2.35 to $3.40
Morp R8 $2.40 to $4.40
That makes a hell of a difference to the bottom line and I'm now going to use the best of three totes/Sp from here on I think.
What have others found and consider the best for returns.


Best Of Three Or S/P pays the best dividend 73%,
Of the time last time I looked or close to it.

It is by far the best product you can get.

It is not just on drifting favourites.

Now that's one problem fixed.

Now try getting on when you are a winner.

To my knowledge the second best product is B/FAIR S/P,
I stand corrected if that is second best but I think it is.

So for me second best is the only option.

Was thinking about this a few weeks ago,
When I made the move over where would I go,
If Betfair ever collapsed "HEAVEN FORBID"

Easy BET ON THE TOTE yeah right what happens if you are not,
Making above the 18% takeout.???.

Cheers.
