I'm just having a bit of a read of that book myself and I reckon his stats are a bit iffy (not that I'm a mathmateece).

He reckons faves win around 30% of the time (granted) but then he goes on about using martingale based totally on the 30% average however he then says not to bet anything under $1.90.

Maybe I'm wrong but if you exclude the odds-on faves then surely the 30% strike rate would come down heaps - surely to even less than 20% thereby making his system based on a 30% strike rate as useless.

Lucky I only paid $0.00 for that one.
