Mancunian, the price of the fave hasn't too much importance because I remember asking my friend if omitting odds-on races might be worthwhile. But he replied he had some very large dividends with these races which put the sequence into profit. He did say odds-on faves are mainly in races with not too many runners, so when they win the pain is not too severe. But maybe he was lucky that they occured early in the sequence which would not have caused too much damage, but late in the sequence could've easily killed it. Yesterday there were some very short-priced winners.

However, like you and unlike my friend, I would feel more comfortable if there was a minimum price for the fave. Its something I might look at.
