Lets show example from a race the otherday.

We will lay all runners to payout $100

Total hold $99.73
This is results and the market was close to 100 you would normally only hold around $98 or less.

3.6 $27.78
5.7 $17.54
6.6 $15.15
10.5 $9.52
12.5 $8.00
13.5 $7.41
22 $4.55
22 $4.55
28 $3.57
60 $1.67

As you can see this would result in a loss but lets change the fave to pay out 110 our total hold on the race is $102.51 making a profit of $2.51 less coms

if the fav wins we lose $7.49 in the example below the fav lost.



3.6 $30.56
5.7 $17.54
6.6 $15.15
10.5 $9.52
12.5 $8.00
13.5 $7.41
22 $4.55
22 $4.55
28 $3.57
60 $1.67

This won't work on all race but it can work.

Thanks Shaun,

You explained that very well.

Another quick question for Wesmip, those horse on BF which are $10 and under, what is the SR and return for these? I know for horses on the TAB the SR is around 80% and the return is around -14%, does BF have a better SR for those under $10, and what is teh return?

about 70%. 5764 out of 8148 races were winners under $10 on betfair.
