For sure backing shorteners in the market is much more profitable.

I actually have MORE on my bets if they shorten in the market.

What i actually meant was if i saw a big bet placed on a horse
overnight would i just go ahead and have a bet.

As a matter of interest i actually did a similiar survey on
horses that shortened in the betting s/price <$6.0 less than.



Say for eg.
A)$4.0-$5.0-$4.8.
B)$4.0-$5.0-$3.8.
C)$4.0-$5.0-$4.0.

In this example only B has firmed you wouldn't believe how
many people say all 3 have firmed your summary is spot on.

I actually didn't get as profitable figures as yours but an
advantage nevertheless.

Contradicted myself in the last post by comparing
a big bet placed on a horse to smart money (on course shorteners)

Having more on my bets when they shorten increases my
profits overall without having to meddle with the selection criteria.
