The Ocho,
I was alluding to the horse in the race with the shortest price, is often very good value with a very good chance.
An example on Friday there was a harness horse that closed at $1.70 on the tote and ticked all the boxes form wise, I managed average odds of $2.68!
Another example, is horses real short with the bookies, say $1.10 or $1.20, I've often secured $1.25 or $1.50 respectively.
While you may not win much, these sort of percentages on a regular basis, provide a nice profit and pay for commission.
I like to look at good overlays on hot pots, those that are not value, at say $1.15 or $1.25 (respectively) I like to lay.
But it also depends on the money on track, not all overlays are value, some are an indication that something else is being heavily supported.
Weeding out the good from the bad is the key here.
