Brodie Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Not too sure how much homework the NZ TAB Bookies do to set fixed odds? There are many horses racing at Adding tonight that are at ludicrously short odds, that even the poorest punter wouldnt be enticed to, you would think? OBSESSION for instance in the last race is at $2.20 to win?????? Why on earth is it that short? Yes many tipsters are tipping it out and it is trained by Amanda Telfer and their team goes very well! However on what it has shown in 2 trials at Rangiora since it came down from the North Island, surely you couldnt support it?? First trial was not that flash and its last one, it did win but basically beat non winners and didnt go very quick, so can not see how it could be $2.20? Not a strong field at all but there are one or two others in there that warrant your $! Could it win, of course as Telfer wouldnt line it up, but jeez have to grow a leg on what I have seen recently!

Brodie Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Rangatira said: Its on the drift cobber Shouldnt have been anywhere near $2.20 fixed to win, and the Bookies were crazy to have it so short, as who would back it at that????? Bookies so often put up odds that are just way to short to attract any money, so you do wonder how they actually form the market? Wonder who is forming the fixed odds harness market nowadays, as they are just way too conservative to attract the dollars! It went OK but seriously had to grow a leg on what it had shown at the trials to have had any chance of winning tonight!!!

Brodie Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 Raging On race 3 at Addington tomorrow Sunday, $2.20 fixed to win?????? And someone has obviously thought it was worth it, as it has shortened into $1.85 lol! Yes I appreciate Matt Purvis is now training it on the beach, but it surely mustve been the poorest maiden down in Southland over the last few months???? How it can go from Zero to Hero in a month is rather hard to fathom? Yes it did win at the Rangiora trials recently but personally dont think it was that flash beating not much, last quarter 29.6 and appeared fully extended! Drawn well at 1 and probably end up with egg on my face, but seriously why would you back a previous DOG a month ago at$2.20 in harder races????
