Yeah i said supposed,it seems silly to me to have a system that tries to latch on to longshots and then when they arrive treat them as flukes,we are dealing with first up horses,of course there is going to be some very big priced winners.

I think what is meant here is betting to return a figure rather than betting a certain stake.
Some people will put a unit on their decided horse no matter the odds. Therefore as much will be bet on a $2 horse as a $100 horse.
JFC works out his stats by betting to return a figure. Let us say $1000.
If the horse is showing $2, you would put $500 on it, hence returning you $1000.
Of course if that horse is showing $100, then you will only need to put $10 on to return your $1000. |
