A somewhat simplistic, but nonetheless interesting, article in which the predictive quality of the BetFair market is slagged off, because it upsets their traditional form book study methods (by implication, of course, if they are right, then everybody could/should/would just follow the late money and win).

Nearly six years after its award-winning expose of corruption in horse racing, Panorama returns to the sport of kings to investigate the world of betting. Paul Kenyon reveals why those running the sport are so concerned about gamblers betting large sums of money on horses not to win, but to lose. [*] While ordinary punters risk their cash on picking winners, those in the know are playing a different game altogether.

[*] A mechanism made ultra convenient by the arrival of “betting exchanges” (real-money prediction exchanges), like BetFair and Betdaq.

Thanks to our commenter for the tip.

Will somebody help us (who don’t live in the United Kingdom) to get to know what will be said that day on the Beeb?
