Had a very good year so far with these bets. Only available with Betfred or Hills Today Yarmouth - Favourites over 105 @ 7/4 won Musselburgh - Favourites over 95 @ 7/4 won Yarmouth - Distances over 15.5 @ 7/4 won Musselburgh - Distances over 16.5 @ 7/4 won £10 4 fold returned £571 This is the 5th time the overs bet has won in 5 weeks - before the 3rd time, the over distances were 15/8 so they I expect the odds to come in to 13/8 soon. Unfortunately, the markets for these bets is only available 50 mins before the first race, so you have to look out for them. Anyone else play these markets?
To many variables to be a strategy, bit like goals galore etc, you will get streaks of success but the odds are actually against you long term
The going has a big effect on distances and can change during a meeting so you need to be a meteorological forecaster as well, apprentice and amateur races as well as maidens versus handicap provide distance anomalies, all very tricky ~a friend of mine has been making hay/money in French league 2 matches in the over 1.5 goals a game market, just look at the stats, amazing with some of these minor league games!
No problem Ron The quote is for the meeting Today there were 8 races at Musselburgh and 9 at Yarmouth Every winning Fav gets 25 points, 10 for 2nd and 5 for 3rd Distances - aggregage for the meeting in lengths with a neck = 0.3 lengths, head = 0.2 lengths short head 0.1 length nose = 0.01 length. So Todays first 3 results at Musselburgh Race 1 1ST Marnie James 8/11Fav by 3.5L = 25 points Race 2 1ST Royal Cosmic 13/8F by a head Race 3 1ST Muntadab 8/1 by 1.25 lengths Fav Unplaced Therefore atfer 3 races your running total is Fav'S 50 Distances 4.95 As rudebwoy says, quite a few variables - namely which 2 meetings to chose. But as the bet gives a 57/1 return, and you do it religiously, it's quite a profitable system.
I agree mate, but for a small stake, it keeps you interested in the whole card no matter how crap the races are. NB - I thought today's bet was a gonner as I needed the Fav to be placed and the winning distance over 6 lengths in the last at Musselburgh - Taweef went off as fav and duly obliged by 15 lengths
i suppose your right , small stakes and interest for the whole card and not necessarily just the winner ,better odds than winning a small lottery return
