However he didn't mention if they were in the top of the market or with all qualifying horses regardless of price. I remember a couple of times whilst I was at my computer I noticed that there were quite a few winners (and placegetters) that started under $10 where the Betfair price was less than that of the NSWTAB.
To do this one has to be at one's computer or have an automated system, and also there may not be much action.
I prefer to lay S.P. early, and I can only do this not by price but system-related that hopefully produces an edge.

just my observation - but i have found that the MOST LIKELY winners are those that have a BF price shorter than the TAB.
its my understanding that the most successful punters all end up on BF. they have been banned by the corporates and have exhausted their bowler list so all that's left is BF.
whenever i have backed one best tote say 12-1 and see that its in 25+ on BF i already know that i am no hope - not all the time mind you - but enough to form a pattern.
may have been different years ago but the corporate BMs are pretty ruthless these days and the minute you show something you are gone.
