I've long thought that there could be an edge to be had by laying odds-on horses. They seem to me to lose more often than they win so I looked back, as far as I was able, to try and establish if there was any sense to my thoughts. I tried to identify what, if any, types of races stood out where odds-on Favs had a particually bad record.
The results of my, admittedly less than forensic, research was that it was NH Hurdles and Chases odds-on Favs - with one exception - which lost more times than they won. The one exception seems to be Chases over 3m 2f which showed a small profit.
Today there was one lay - 4.10 Exeter.
I'll try to list all future qualifters on this thread but there will be odd occasions when I'll be unable to because of ongoing health problems.
Let's see how it goes.
