I have written ad nauseum about the importance of using Betfair, but recent examples have clearly demonstrated why I continue to advocate its use to all punters.

Let's take a look at the last 5 winners for the Dean's Tips service:

October 3

All That Is

Official Price Recorded: $6.30
Best Tote Price: $7.10
Betfair Traded Price: Between $7 and $9 all during the last 5 mins of betting

Havana Cigar

Official Price Recorded: $41
Best Tote Price: $42
Betfair Traded Price: Between $50 and $80 all during the last 5 mins of betting

October 2

Balrov

Best Tote Price: $19.30
Betfair Traded Price: Between $80 and $120 during the last 20 mins of betting, and $34 to $42 during the last 10 mins of betting

Heroic Action

Official Price Recorded: $14
Best Tote Price: $9.10
Betfair Traded Price: Between $10 and $11 during the last 5 mins of betting

October 1

Jopa

Official Price Recorded: $18.10
Best Tote Price: $22.30
Betfair Traded Price: Between $30 and $38 during the last 5 mins of betting

Note these are not carefully selected examples, they are simply the last 5 winning bets for the Dean's Tips service.

But if they aren't convincing enough, what about the recent example of our 100/1 winner at Toowoomba?

March 12

Emmadee

Official Price Recorded: $101
Best Tote Price: $71.50
Betfair Traded Price: Between $430 and $560 during the last 5 mins of betting, Betfair SP $260

Just $10 bet on this horse on Betfair netted you up to $5,600, a $4,590 (or 45.9 unit) larger profit than simply backing the horse at 100/1 with the corporate bookies.

$560 about a 100/1 winner, $38 about a 17/1 winner, and $120 about a 22/1 winner.

Dean's Tips have made over 190 units profit in just the past 2 months and 4 days since returning from a break, nearly a tripling of the betting bank, and of course as always (unlike many other services), never including Betfair in officially recorded prices.

Given the above, the real question is, can you afford not to be utilising Betfair with your Dean's Tips subscription this Spring Carnival?

All The Best
