Rafa Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Can anyone recommend the best bookie to back online for a place only bets (can't get access to exchanges so I'm limited to "regular" bookies)? I presently use Totesport but some of their payouts/odds are an f-ing joke. A SP of 12/1 place bet yesterday paid less than 1/7 of the odds. That is a common occurence. Thanks.

slapdash Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: Backing to Place Centrebet do place only betting at fixed odds. On the kind of horse I tend to back, their odds are usually not as good as the place odds you'd get from an each-way bet, though. But on other horses they're sometimes better. I'm just curious: why can't you get access to exchanges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: Backing to Place Thanks Slapdash. Am behind a firewall in my office and it stops access to the likes of Betfair. I've asked in PL does anyone know a way around it but at the moment it doesn't seem like it. I know I can use the phone betting but my bank needs a bit of beefing up before I can back numerous horses a day at £50 a pop. Its like everything if you could get a few winning days together at the start you'd be fine but if you hit a loosing streak at the start thats your bank screwed (usually just as the purple patch comes).

sensibleboy Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: Backing to Place I find place betting on horses probably the most succesful way of making profits from betting. Betfair is the way to go as the value on the place markets most of the time is simply outstanding. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: Backing to Place Have to agree with you Sensible Boy; I always back to place where I can. Your own thread is looking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP66 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: Backing to Place if you've got a mobile that has wap access you can bet on betfair from £2 up using the betfair lite site - http://betfair.com/lite/ your account must have been set up at least 6 months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingForTheEnemy Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: Backing to Place KP66, not that it affects me but just to make things clearer, is it that your account has to be set up at least 6 months ago or it has to be open for at least 6 months. ie. If you opened an account 3 months ago, does the function become available in 3 months time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP66 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Re: Backing to Place WFTE - i believe your example's right, you can access BF lite when your account has been open for 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP66 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Re: Backing to Place Update on betfair access on the phone. They now have their own wap application which you can download and it seems much better than betfair lite - http://mobile.betfair.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
