\"\"<\/a>You could be forgiven for thinking that I was talking about the summer weather, then again if you are from the UK you know that I couldn’t possibly be talking about the weather! What I am referring to is the enormous<\/span> amount of gambled on horses we have seen recently. I can’t remember anything similar in recent memory. Most days there are some significant moves and some days its almost as though every other race contains a big mover.<\/p>\n

This can be a problem for me as I tend to be contrary. But given the frequency with which these moves have been occurring<\/span> lately it has been almost impossible NOT to get on the right side of one. In the illustration, you can see the price of a horse move from 11’s to eventually start the race near 3.85. Backing even at 6’s and laying back at 4’s would have netted you a 200% profit on your stake. This is just one of a huge number that have occurred<\/span> recently. Until we get the data through I can’t comment if this is unusual or just an optical illusion but it has been a very noticeable<\/span> trend recently. I hope you have caught a few.<\/div>\n
