Hi

Been trading tennis quite successfully for a bit, but horses is still a black art at the moment so forgive my ignorance!

Can anyone give tips on what makes a race an attractive race to trade on?

Clearly having money in it is key but what else and what horse? Is it nearly always the favourite?

Also - using weight of money is new to me. I understand in principle but large amounts well outside the betting range seem to skew the expected trend a bit so I find it hard to predict.

All replies welcome. Thanks guys.

With regards to the races I honestly couldn't tell you when I do get the time to trade then I will do all the races I can.
Regarding the horse I actually find it easier to not trade the fav, I tend to trade the 2nd or 3rd fav, many people have told me they do the same and most seem to agree that it's because a lot of the top guys are trading the fav, although pretty much everyone inc myself will get on any horse if I see a drift occuring etc.
So if you decide to trade the fav and struggle then give the 2nd or 3rd fav ago as they still have a fair bit of money going through them.
