Until I see her race the mares distance she’s a fav that I have zero interest in right now. Yes I’ll have missed the price If she does bolt up first time over distance but at the prices Gala Marceau is of much more interest to me.

He would be a logical switch to Arkle/Turners with respect to the "not wasting two bullets" argument...

Personally I take no notice of the exchanges for Cheltenham races at this stage, 7 months out the market has yet to mature, there has been a total of 43k traded (21.5k back and 21.5k lay) 75% of which has been on Constitution Hill.
I't entirely possible Constitution Hill will be 1/5 or shorter on the day, next best therefore has to be around 8/1 and 10/1 bar.
To me the only thing wildly wrong about the market is the price of the fav who, for me, should be no bigger than 1.5...

Cheers insta for the reply, am only getting to figure out the exchanges this season so every little bit of info helps.

Not that much confidence in Constitution Hill going CH then. If it were a done deal the exchanges would certainly show it.
They can be a minefield my friend.
Basic rules for me:
Daily win markets only really mature mid morning
Daily place markets you can ignore until 10 mins before the race
The win price and place price are linked, if you take an order for all the win money the place market will contract, blame the BOTS
Ante Post win markets aren't generally reliable outside the fav/second fav until decs
And the golden rule, before you hit the place bet button read what your bet is, then read it again, it's easy to make mistakes and the BOTS will always take advantage.
Best of luck...
It's just the nature of the exchanges, there will always be a disparity with bookmaker markets.
Next UK General Election is 1.19 on betfair, generally a 1/7 shot with the books.
You have to remember that betfair applies the rules of racing without exception, bookmakers often give gimmick refunds for a horse that doesn't leave a stall, turns round at the start, falls at the first, wins then gets disqualified, gets brought down etc, I'm sure plenty there will have been many in here who have been the beneficiary of at least one of these instances in recent years, if your bet is on the exchange then you do your dough.
The price of Constitution Hill is probably more reflective of this than his target...

….that’s a big haircut for Willmount, I was going to wait for the next double odds boost & get 40-1 but I’m glad I had a little bit on @22-1 with boost.
i’ll certainly be aiming double odds boost on this market, got 32-1 on Jerico a few days ago, notice he’s still 16-1.

Very good tool to have.
Inthepocket is 10's with Hills......just half that in the Skybet TWAR market. That's a huge difference.

Someone from Hills must be reading this forum, not a surprise really, with the knowledge of some on here.

Potentially yes. Still needs a few to back them though to be cut. This has to be the Premier forum. As you say, the knowledge and attention to detail is incredible. Who needs to pay for tips eh ??

100 percent agree, I've backed many horses for the festival after seeing them highlighted on here and reading the thought process behind them ( or sometimes just blindly ) , the knowledge is second to non and most appreciated by myself and i dare say plenty of others.

Re: Allaho Josh Stacey
Connections are ‘hopeful’ Allaho has another big day in him this season. Dual Ryanair winner came back into training earlier this month after a couple of months out at grass. He was close to making it back for Punchestown in the spring.

Wouldn’t touch Allaho unless he came back at the start of the season and won in a fashion where it didn’t look like he lost 12 lbs, and no sign of bounce next time out
Too may ifs and but. He’ll be 10, extremely hard ask
id be surprised if we see Allaho again tbh, so hard to get these back
