Think this has been put up before, but I am unable to find
anything in the archives:
Need favourites who won by price/percentage
The avg of all favourites winning is approx 30%
What I need is the breakdown by price (winning favs only)

1: price $0-$1.5 plus %
2: price $1.5 -$2 plus %
3: price $2 - $2.5 plus %
4: price $2.5 - $2.99 plus %

5: price $3 - $3.5 plus %
6: price $3.5 - $4 plus %
7: price $4 - $4.5 plus %
8: price $4.5 - $5 plus %

9: price $5.01 up plus %


Would be greatly appreciated if at all possible

place2win, shucks I can't answer your question which annoys me as I purchased a book on this subject (in depth) a few years ago chucked out by my ** wife grrrr!

Anyway just by way of feedback, as you already know the lower the price the higher the S/R and also the LOWER the loss. In other words the ones that give you the best chance of breaking even are believe it or not "ODDS ON SHOTS".
Tantalisingly this holds true for just about any set of selections picked by any method.
Now that's a bit disconcerting when you really think about it isn't it?

Interesting also almost exact figures are derived from the pre-post fav V actual favs. over long periods of time.

8-odd years of Metro racing - 31.25% of Favs win - 11,614 Fav's winning


1: price $0-$1.5 plus 4.2%
2: price $1.5 -$2 plus 17.3%
3: price $2 - $2.5 plus 21.9%
4: price $2.5 - $2.99 plus 21.3%
5: price $3 - $3.5 plus 16.1%
6: price $3.5 - $4 plus 10.5%
7: price $4 - $4.5 plus 5.3%
8: price $4.5 - $5 plus 2.1%
9: price $5.01 up plus 1.3%

Thankyou Stix,
That is very interesting stats, would it be assumed then that this would
generally apply to country/prov sun-mon also

I guess you could assume that, but I can not confirm. Someone else perhaps?

If I am right? the % beside each price range is the % of winning favs only
That was what I originally asked for (Only winning favs in the respective price range) and this only applys to metro events.

To make it clearer, maybe I should have asked the following:
In the above price ranges, what percentage ot favourites won their race.

Yep. As requested.
