This is spot on Bhagwan.
To reduce the commission paid, the more runners in the field you have your total stake spread across, the less relative commission you pay.
Those concentrating on one runner per race are really struggling with commission.
The worst case of course is short priced horses because they have a high strike rate, single bettors who like the longshots don't suffer quite as much.
There are cases where the profit gained outweighs the commission paid relatively because the profit is much more by ratio, but the general rule is, the more horses you back or lay per event, the less commission on total profit you end up paying as a percentage.
