Opinions on the merits of fallers insurance?
e.g. paddy power are 9/4 about my earlier tip, 2/1 with fallers insurance (money back if it falls).
The only races I would even consider it would be novice chases. In handicap hurdles like your tip earlier it is nothing more than a nice to have and I certainly wouldn't take a worse price with it.

The horse ACE2M tipped up earlier fell last time out. If I was backing that horse I think I would prefer to have the insurance in place. Why would you only take it in Novice chases? I appreciate that you make your living from betting so would value your opinion on this one.

think if it is greater than 7% to fall this would be good (obv ignoring that 5/2 is available) my maths are that (if 9/4 is the true price): the horse wins 31% return .93 falls 7% return .07 loses without falling 62% return 0 total return 1

Bonnie Prince Blue @ 25/1 its now around 12/1. I also like St Oswald in the same race, it could go well if handling the switch to fibresand.
Thankfully Sir Oswald ran ok. But Bonnie Prince Blue never beat anything. Thats one for the glue factory.

I appreciate that you make your living from betting so would value your opinion on this one. I would obviously take it wherever it was offered but I would only take a shorter price in a Novice Chase because that is the form of racing with the most amount of fallers. Iirc less than 3% of hurdlers fall and in chases it is closer to 8%. I would imagine novice chases are closer to 12% if not higher. Obviously if you could get the concession in chases then there are some courses whedre it would be more valuable than others. Aintree being the obvious example but also places like Stratford and Towcester. That said I have never seen it offered outside of hurdle races and, as such, I have never placed much value on it.

Okay, that makes much more sense now. I just assumed this was something new that PP were offering on all races over obstacles. If its only on selected races then it doesn't appeal so much.

If that is the case then it is an amazing offer in certain races.

I was sure I had mentioned Reggie Perrin in a previous post, but I can't find it. Anyway I sent about 10 minutes looking for it and in doing so missed the race here a Folkestone. FML
