Here's a bit of database info to give you heart.


Backing the SP favorite in all NSW races and putting the bet on the NSW TAB you would get 89.8% of your money back with a strike rate of 33.3% (over 44000 races all days all courses).
Backing the SP favorite in all NSW maiden races and putting the bet on the NSW TAB you would get 93.6% of your money back with a strike rate of 35.6% (over 11650 races all days all courses).
Backing the SP favorite in all NSW non-maiden races and putting the bet on the NSW TAB you would get 88.4% of your money back with a strike rate of 32.5% (over 32400 races all days all courses).
Not a money making prospect in itself but it proves the maiden favorites do better than favorites overall.

Why choose by SP and report by NSW Tab? I already had a program written which almost did the job and only took me 5 minutes to put the maiden clause in. Laziness.
