Do you back horses or prices?

[cavello]

I'm strongly in the price value camp. For example today I had Irish Wolf true odds to be 4/6/8/11 so I placed a bet at 10/11. Just before the race the horse was at 4/9. It was now a lay and I hedged at 4/9:loon To me a horse got a price and if it differs too much one way or the other it is a bet or lay. Again yesterday Scorpion/Maraahel I would have backed Scorpion if he had been at 2/1(and lost) and laid Maraahel at 2.75(and lost). Luckily for me the prices fell right for me here and I was on the winner. Yet I know many punters will not refrain from backing a selection if it is shorter then expected. It can be frustrating to reject a bet because it is 11/4 and not 3/1 and watch it win :wall but IMO discipline will be rewarded in the long run.
