This is a prime example how an 84% market can still favour a layer.
The two favourites were a total of 84% less than the tote price!
If one is laying to payout the same figure on all horses in the market, one loses a massive 16% of the total outlay.
If one lays to liability, the greatest liability is on the first then second favourites, the rest should be winners. Given that they are 84% less than tote price, you cannot help but win.
As I lay only part of the field, which means I am laying the favourites and backing the longshots (effectively), I got 103% better than the tote price on the winner plus 84% less than the tote on the losers.
This is not a one off....

Here is the reverse, a 184% market:

But there is still huge value both ways.
