My ratings, are deliberately tilted towards horses that are NOT likely to be favs.
After all there is no need to rate a race to find the favorite, all one has to do is look at the sceen in the TAB.
I am trying to find a horse that has a good chance of winning, or run a place.
Many times of course this will include the fav. as the top selection, whether I like it or not.
If I bet on short odds it will ruin my return on the winning bets because of the overall strikerate being in the low 20 or less.
Also I mostly bet for place, if the return is more $2.0 place div. Try to make money by betting on place for less then that and you will need a really good SR.
Anyway you do as you do, and we do as we do. I still think looking for value on one's own rated price is a fruitless task.
Who knows what the true odds are?
Do you?
Good on ya! you have a licence to print money.
Good luck
