The bookies put up their prices about 20 mins before the race at the course. But bookies also have online betting that day as well as phone betting. I suppose they have prices already set. I wonder if they have prices anywhere during the day that are available before Betfair.

No hunch there, just dumb luck that I put it on Fixed on Friday.

Well if some prices are up early, I may be wasting my time, because I collect them on the day of the race. As a matter of fact mostly after the race has been run.

I wonder how much they differ?
I noticed prices are up already for the 23rd Saturday for the 2009 DOOMBEN 10000 & 2009 STRADBROKE HCP, I save them and compare them on race day.

If they differ a great deal, specially if they differ from time to time, I drop it, data if not accurate, is a lot worse than no data.

Cheers

lomaca,

They are different.

What you see after the race has closed for the opening price is often (not always) completely different to what was previously offered as the opening price.
They bump the columns as new prices come in, rather than updating the current column.

Oh well, another good idea down down the drain.
I have it all on auto now, so might as well continue, another useless piece of info sitting in the database. As the man said "such is life"

Thanks CP
Good luck

I was wrong with this statement.

Most are worked from a computer programme. Some use the odds from TAB sportsbet.

And in the process, I found fixed odds for the trots - yippeeeee!
