Message: [QUOTE="BroncosFever, post: 3454985, member: 8670"] No, I don't work for them, that would be ridiculous. I work for the TAB and have a good understanding of how bookmakers operate, I know it was a promotion and you'd expect to be able to get 101-1 about the favorites right up until the 29th (which would be the time when the final field is declared) but that's not how bookmakers operate. They'd have a certain amount they're prepared to lose on any runner and I reckon people have co-ordinated between themselves "you put 10 on the fav on your account, I will put 10 on the 2nd fav on my account and we'll go 50/50". The intervention from the ACCC would be them using a promotion to lure people into signing up, that's now illegal. I haven't seen their terms and conditions about the promo but I would be stunned if there wasn't something written about them reserving the right to change the price, given it's an all-in market I have no doubt there is something their T&C's about that. Bookmakers change odds all the time in response to where the money is going. The Cox Plate with the barrier draw would've been the same reason they're closing the Melbourne Cup promotion on the 29th, the final field would've been declared and all-in betting would then be suspended.
