Does anybody know the ratio of winning favourites, or know anywhere I can get this info?

Not sure if you'll get what you want but lots of info - might have to register though

Thanks Chuck, that's exactly what I was after. You have to pay to receive current info, but they let you download an example to see what they offer. The example shows the betting & results for 381 matches. Enough to keep me busy on what is apparently my day off.

Saw 50k matched on Betfair at 1.01 Southampton. Leading 2-0 until the 89th minute when Middlesborough scored 2 goals in 2 minutes(an own goal started the rot), some sick and sore punters overnight.

Some punters never learn.

laying those 1.01 bets can be a good way to make money. Usually you make a small loss but if you win you're rich...

If someone bets $1000 on a 1.01 bet then if you lay it your liability is only $10 to make $1000. Worth a try.
