10/5/2002 edition Plunge Horses Each week we will feature tables showing just how successful the "smart money" was. To qualify a horse must have firmed 5% in the betting market. For example if a horse was backed in from $5.00 (4/1 or 20%) to $4.00 ( 3/1 or 25%) it will qualify. Odds calculator gives you tables. The jockeys and trainers are also important. You may see some jockeys and trainers consistently bringing home plunges whereas others regularly fail to deliver.
Not one horse at Caulfield racetrack in Melbourne firmed the necessary 5% in the bookies' betting ring to qualify as a meaningful plunge for us. This edition of Punt to Win: Warning It is just about
impossible to get a high enough strike rate backing short
priced tote favourites to make up for the big unders on
the tote. Copyright ©1998-present. OZmium Pty. Ltd. All rights reserved. |
