Bet Overview
This is based on the same principle as the Favourites Index but the favourites are those printed first in the betting section below each race card in the Racing Post.
Again these horses are awarded points as follows: 1st=25points, 2nd=10pts, 3rd=5pts. f there are joint favourites the first named horse in the Racing Post will be deemed to be the favourite.
Example
In a race meeting at Lingfield, our opening quote for Racing Post Favourites might be 66 - 70.
If you studied the Racing Post and believed their favourites were better than we thought you would go high (buy) at 70 for £5. In the end two of the Racing Post favourites won, but none of the others were even in the frame. On the basis of our scoring system, the make up was 50.
Had you bought at 70 you would have lost 20 times your stake.
20 x £2 = -£40
