If the above is correct you can basically create favorite or last start winner systems that might only break even or have a small LOT on TAB divvies but will actually be profitable on Betfair SP.


Yes and No. lol. Its not that easy. Its different depending on what races/country you are looking at.

If you stuck to UK races and major black type races then 5% is generally your loss.

Other than a system I use on very short priced favourites, this is my most profitable system so I would agree, backing more horses in a race is the key to profit.

Most Professional Bettors would bet 4 + horses in the 1 race.

However, the more I tinker with this nebulous world the more I reckon that Race Selection is the key to success.



Sssshhhhh. But seriously has anyone actually thought about why do most professional punters bet 4+ horses in a race ? Its not because tey can't decide between 4 horses. It's because they understand risk, and money management. And at the heart of this is they understand they need consistency. Consistently winning is the key. Your in a better mood, your in better mind set and your bank is generally going up every day.
