As fav's win 30% approx of all races here's the approximate run of outs one would possibly expect with a 30% s/rate: bets=1-10(outs=4.5), bets=11-100(outs=10.7), bets=101-1,000, (outs=16.9), bets=1001-10,000(outs=23.1).

Pretty sobering stuff isn't it.

It's good for me when going through a run of outs to look up my s/rate then the probable run of outs and gain some satisfaction that this a normal occurrence for my system not the system needs to be turfed in the bin (YET).

Source of these s/rates is "Mathematics for the Punter" written by the turf accountant for PUNTERS CHOICE. As honest and unbiased organization i know of for any doubters out there.
