The price on offer? No, it is the approximate dividend.
While this is a better idea than prepost markets, I still wouldn't rely on it... The people that are serious about backing horses will not bet on the tote. They will bet fixed odds. Watch the fixed odds, and you know where the tote is heading.
A lot of the later money on the tote is from the bookies anyway.
The 10k mark is not really relevant when the total pool reaches 500k. Perhaps a better idea would be 1 minute before jump time, when half the pools have been filled.... |
