With so many players showing up well only to fall away and it prompted a few members to ask whether 1/4 odds 5 places or 1/5 odds 6 7 or 8 places is better.
– 1/4odds 5 places is always better than 1/5odds 6 places.
– 1/5odds 7 or 8 places upwards is preferred to 1/4odds 5 places.
– 1/5odds 10 each way book Betfair exchange is best even losing 20% off our minimum price is acceptable.
One point I have noticed these opening couple of weeks has been how much liquidity the 10 place each way exchange book has 36 hours before event.
– I managed to get Larrazabal and Stone at 100/1 each way 10 places in Abu Dhabi
– I managed to get Stuard at 170, Landry at 90, Putnam 28 and Swafford 38 each way 10 places in Desert Classic
You can see patience can pay off by waiting on the betfair exchange each way book and at 10 places we can accept losing 20% of price.
Of course with so many players getting between 6th and 8th these last two weeks it has brought it to our attention and I hope this will be helpful going forward.
Unibet and 888sport have 6 places and often start at bigger prices than the rest so in these circumstances it is fine to take 6 providing we have at least 25% better price than other books.
I know it can feel complicated so DM anytime until you feel comfortable with all the changing dynamics.
