Same for 2nd Fav 20% win return of 89% so you would need 12% better odds to come out in front.

and so on right down to the longest odds. so in theory you should win on every runner.
Would this work???


All things being equal, that is, every horse paid the odds according to it's true chances AND NO TAB TAKEOUT of course it would work, but only as far as you would get your money back!
But are all things equal?
