Transfer preempts work so well because many opponents are not used to it and do not use the extra bidding space to their advantage. F.E. You can show nearly double as many hands against a transfer opening, just by passing in the first round and bidding later.
No, transfer pre empts do not work well at all. They give the opposition far more opportunities to penalise and show different takeout hand types.
