Bet Overview
Similar to the favourites and heavyweights markets with 25 points awarded for a winning ride, 10pts for second and 5pts for third.
Sporting Index will quote a price for a jockey (or jockeys) at a meeting depending on how many rides.
If for any reason the jockey on whom the bet was made does not ride his intended mount in a race, but the horse still runs, then the horse still counts as if it had been ridden by the ?named? jockey.
Example
At a meeting at Epsom, Pat Eddery has six rides. We might predict that he would score between 41 - 44 points (based on the scoring system above).
If you viewed his rides as particularly strong and believed he might have two winners with a good chance of others finishing in the frame you would go high (buy) at 44.
1st Race = Unplaced (0 pts)
2nd Race = Unplaced (0 pts)
3rd Race = 3rd (5pts)
4th Race = 1st (25pts)
5th Race = Unplaced (0 pts)
6th Race = 1st (25pts)
Total make up = 55
Had you bought at 44 you would have won 11 times your stake.
11 x £2 = £22
Had you sold at 41 you would have lost 14 times your stake.
14 x £2 = -£28
