Yes, but you are missing our point entirely. Take our Egyptian Raine for example, she is a super sprinting mare who has had seven starts this prep for no wins using her Unitab starting price for all these races to win a set profit of $100 you would have to invest. Rounding return to the nearest $1.00 for bet unit. Note these are approximations as my mathematics do not extend to this level

Race return bet Total loss
Lightning $4.00 $35 $35
Newmarket $7.00 $25 $60
Aust Stakes $6.00 $30 $90
T.J Smith $7.00 $30 $120
All Aged $11.00 $25 $145
Byrn Hart $3.00 $125 $280
Doom 10000 $5.00 $95 $375

These figures do not look to bad however
It would only take a few more loses at short odds to send this figure skyrocketing. And again reinforcing the point that Our Egyptian Raine may never win another race it is a risk i'm not willing to take.

Cheers Ed
