Noticed over the past few weeks the on going topic in the newsletter regarding "Betting Favourites in Small Fields"
Seems that this demostrates:
1. Short priced fav have to be assessed closely
2. looking for value (usually something twice the fav's price) is profitable
3. When looking for value betting more than one runner can be favourable
The old saying against looking for value is that "You can't eat odds"..... BUT - as my father-in-law used to say (ex-SP Bookie !!) say "you can eat at the better places....... with value" - the old fish & chips/pizza v Seafood & Steak argument....
