The Best Odds
Our survey of the leading bookmakers found just about everyone is offering 1.06 on Black Caviar to win. The exception is Betfair, who had Black Caviar at 1.08 at the time of writing. This equates to 1.076 after a 5% commission. With that being said, if you plan to wager less than $200, Luxbet is the best place to bet due to the double fixed odds promotion – currently at 1.12 odds. Just be sure to use the link on the promos page to lock in the double odds. The standard Flemington R7 page will display the standard odds.
Note that if you back Black Caviar at 1.12 with Luxbet and lay her at 1.09 with Betfair you can lock in a guaranteed profit.
