One interesting thing AtTheRaces does in their odds grid - they have this calculation at the bottom of the screen:
Bookies best price percentage = 99.70%
Meaning if you took the best price available on each horse picked out from the spread of bookies at that moment in time and bet it with $$$=%%% you'd be getting 0.30% the best of it in this example!

Sounds good in principle but you wouldn't actually be able to get all your bets on. It only takes 2 or 3 value bets in a row (win or lose) with a UK bookmaker to get your account stopped or severely limited. This is the major downside of fixed odds betting in the UK compared to pari-mutuel in the US.
