There is a misconception in the mind of
bettors that laying bets for favorites every time will help to win the
challenge. It is believed that the reason behind successful win is laying bets
for the favorites. Most of them bet for their favorites in almost 4 out of 5
races. The concept behind such thinking is that lay bets horse racing for
favorites will have lesser odds and thereby favorites will lose the maximum
races which actually reduce the risk of betting.
But calculations and researches reveals
that this concept of laying bets for all the favorites each time can result to
a dangerous and risky betting game. Some favorites are undoubtedly worthy
enough to be bet for. But it’s a false notion that betting for all favorites
each time you bet can result to a successful profit because some are
over-priced and some are under-priced too.
Also it has been researched that backing
all favorites in every race makes a loss of around 6.7%. Hence we can say that
laying them can yield a profit of 6.7% only. But this concept is not true
because it has been found that laying favorites results to a loss of 0.3%. The
reason behind this figure is the exchange charge and over-pricing. If the
exchange’s commission is considerably low and if the price offered is somewhere
around the SP then there is a chance of earning profit by laying for all the
favorites. But this is a myth because you have to pay a good commission to the
exchange and your offer price for backing has to be at the higher side than the
SP.
