Is backing a winner @ 1.75 not value after you have done the the ratings and this is your top rated horse for this race.75% is not bad value in my book.I know it is not as good as getting a winner @ 5.00=400% on the invested $.Even if you have $57.14 on to get back $100 it must be still Value that =75% interest but not as good as $20 to get back $100 =400%

Simply this.
Value is you got more than what it's really worth.
I buy out of date groceries at very low prices.Sometimes they taste good,sometimes they taste shit.
When they taste good,I got value.When they taste shit,I didn't.

Some would argue that any winner is value.
This is delusional and what the bookies like hearing.
Backing a winner at $1.75 is value if your ratings have stood the test of time and you've rated the horse $1.50 chance.
Value is not whether the horse won today or not, it is whether over a long period of time, you are able to get better prices than your ratings suggest, or if you don't use ratings - what your system's strike rate is.
