what he is saying is if you layed the field to payout 100 in a 96% market you would lose $4 but if you set the fav to payout 120 as an example this would increase the overall hold and if that is above 100 then you win if any other runner except the fav wins, you would need to factor in coms as well, this can also be done on the back side but in reverse.
