Do this lot actually lay horses. just about every day the offer the worst early prices along with the Bf Sportsbook. On the race of the day Bet 365 might go 15/8 Hills etc 7/4 and as sure as God made little green apples they will offer 11/8 along with bf. Is this a ploy to drive customers away or to the exchanges?...beats the hell out of me

They're all geldings depending on the race and/or circumstances.

I went through a long losing run with Ladbrokes many years ago backing with them because they were offering the longest odds about something I fancied. It took me that long to realise they 'knew' it wasn't going to win, hence the longer odds. It took some discipline to resist the temptation to go through with the bet but it stopped the rot in that particular account.

Sometimes you can play the odds to your advantage.

Big Mac used to tell us that "Ladbrokes knew!"

I often found myself in the nearest Ladbrokes office when they went the biggest price on something I fancied in a small field conditions race.I cannot beat them.
