As many of you know I put my bets on in batches - afternoon racing at lunchtime and evening racing goes on in the late afternoon. I use Oddschecker to get the best bookies price and compare that to Betdaq factoring in commission. I've got some fantastic prices this way, especially using 'best odds guaranteed' bookmakers, of which there are an increasing number with Paddy Power and William Hill joining the likes of Bet365 and Stan James recently.
For example, I took 16/1 with Ladbrokes at lunchtime on Love Galore in the 4.05 and it went off at 8/1 having opened at 11/1. I don't know what the Betfair SP was or what it was trading at between say 1.30 and 4pm on the exchanges but when I can get double SP on certain bets like this one I am a happy bunny :happyboun
