The Mathematical Probabilities of Winning on the Punt.

I was thinking, you have card counters, you have mathematicians in just about every sport now ever played collating data on every conceivable
facet  of a game to program some small edge.

Is there mathematical probabilities of winning more on the punt?

Sure I have very good strike rates and profits, but can it be better?

I have data of about 1,500 races I have tipped fitter horses and I will bet you London to a brick, the low the top 5 fitter horses ad up the
mathematical better the chances you have of winning.

Let’s take 2 race ratings of fitter horses:

Race 1:   1-2-3-4-5 are my fitter horses, all 1-5 top weight as the handicapper has said best horses and are now rated fit.

Race 2:  10-7-3-11-15 are my fitter horses, spread out over the field and some of low quality and performance and poorer types than horses than in Race 1.

I am sure there are a set of Mathematical probabilities numbers that further increase a punters chances.

•    Race 1:   1-2-3-4-5 adds up to 15

•    Race 2: 10-7-3-11-15 adds up to 46.


I am positive that race 1 would return better results than race 2.

I can’t be bothered going back over 1,500 results, however I will add the 5 fitter horses up and place on the right hand side of my ICloud software prior to posting.

A pattern will form which could say:

•    15-20 win more races

•    21 – 30 win less

•    31 – 50 win few.


THE EVEREST BIG PUNT could well look at these mathematical probabilities to increase their chances when having a real go in a big value race.

All good

More like 2/1 you will win on this race?

Fitter horses win 92.38% of my races.

15 - 20   may be 50%

21 - 30   may be 25%

31 plus may be 17%


Then I miss, that is the other 8%

That may be close and yes maths shows us something significant with about 200% the chance of the 21 - 30 ratings and 300% of
31 plus ratings.

Will start doing some stats.

When to hold and when to fold and just about makes my fitness % ratings infaluable?

15 - 20 could be as high as 90% chance of winning on this race, but only 25% of the time those numbers coming up.

Very interesting maths.
