He would rather bet to 125 in the horse race if he could lay all the runners. Obv this doesn't happen.

If you put £2.40 on each of the runners in the 50 runner race your return would be £96 giving an overround of 125%.

On your theory you are better off having a bet in a 2 horse race where they are 4/6 each, than the aforementioned 50 runner race where they are betting to 125 !https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31715467/sp-poor-value-800-ripoff?post_id=561173909#561173909Jack, the over round per runner is irrelevant ?
