Hi
Just a quick one...
I just wondered if anyone had considered whether (long term), it was better to take SP on any unmatched bets or whether it was better to Green up say 5 secs before the off?
Any thoughts ?
Thanks
regards

In the early days I tried greening before the official off, problem was there was often a lot of price activity afterwards that I missed out on, because the races often didn't actually start until 1-2 minutes after the official off-time.

Nowadays, I would normally 'Take SP' on any unmatched, then Green-Up the 'excess' when the market goes In-Play.

Really though, if you're going to Take SP/Green In-Play, you need to understand form and know how the horse is likely to run.
