I am not saying bet on every event. My point is why just back favourites when they are value. I get the impression that people that rate the favourites in an event are doing just that, but not rating the opposition to a price.

Punting is all about value. You bet on events that you feel are value. If bookmakers have an event at $1.1 but you rated it to $1.5 then obviously your value lies on the other side.... If it is only a marginal call then you probably won't have value on either side.

If you don't get the value don't bet. But don't limit yourself to favourites. That is all I am trying to say..

I personally don't bet on sports. Just the gallops...
