In answer to that comment , a lot of 3/1 shots get beaten to , so do 4/1 shots and 5/1 shots and so on..........does that mean you shouldn't back those either , i understand that the better the price the less amount of winners you need at that price to be in front , but if you are confident the odds on horse is going to win why back anything else in the race (even if they are at value!!!) Either back it or nothing at all.

If you like a horse in a race with a odds on fav then by all acounts back it , but if you like the odds on fav and you back something at better value and the fav gets up all you are doing is betting against yourself.

And even if the odds on fav doesn't win in a field of 10 , there are still 9 horses that can win with the majority being value.
