Betfair offer Better Odds on average than the three Australian TABs because you are betting against other punters who disagree with your opinion and you back the best price available at the time.

The TAB on the other hand, declares a final dividend from the total betting pool after a deduction is made to cover costs and the TAB's contribution to Australian horse racing. The remaining sum of money in the pool is then divided by the number of winning tickets to give a final TAB dividend that the punter must simply accept.

Betfair pays 107% better than TAB on 2010 Australian Guineas
A perfect example of how Betfair value can work for the punter was the payout for the 2010 Australian Guineas at Flemington where the eventual winner Rock Classic was available to back at $28.00 on Betfair, whereas the best final TAB payout was $13.60 from the three Australian totes. That's an amazing 107% better payout from Betfair.
