Can you make money from betting favourites?

Most professional punters do just that. And for good reason.

The answer is that YES it can be done, You will need to run some sort of software or manual method to eliminate those selections that are unsuitable and you should be left with a few good horses every day! Waiting for these pre-selected bets is much easier to manage and bet then just a plain list of all horses.

For those that want to bet proportional, then a real scenario is $5000 bank, 4% takeout, profit $4136 or 7.56% POT just at NSW/SP with Maximum bank risk at 27%. Nice and safe!

Remember this one? First posted May 2013 ! I just thought that I would update it.

Lets take it from March 2010 to Aug 2015:
46.5% strike rate and 4335 bets, (around 2 per day):

The betting scenario is 4% of FIXED $5000 bank:
Using NSW/SP: profit is $14,222 or 3.75% POT
Using Fixed Price: Profit $21,540 or 5.65% POT

Using 4% of ACTUAL bank starting at $5000:
bets adjust to rises and falls of the bank the profit is $161,600.
only increasing the bets by best bank the profit is $345,500

There is the issue that eventually the bets would become too big so the profit will be regulated by what you can get on!

If you remember we gave out the selections from this system for free for nearly a year, so it's there for all to see. The system was constructed in Axis.

To those that predicted, or wanted the downfall of this system, sorry to disappoint.

Oh and I suppose the answer to the question is still YES You can make money from favourites !!!
