Champion Hurdle forecast rip off

25 x 66

Tote places were shocking as well, £3-60, £8-10.

you don't just multiply the odds together. There is an algorithm which takes in to account the number of runners in the race

its norm pretty close

I used to have the CSF formula (assuming they've not changed it again). I cannot remember the details but basically...

It used to be multiplied odds (-ish; there was a chart) but after the Little Owl race, it was changed to "flatten the curve" so bookies were no longer faced with huge payouts on rags when the red hot jollies flopped.

(Little Owl, who had won the Cheltenham Gold Cup, was pulled up in a 3-horse race leaving a 5/2(?) beat 66/1 forecast on which, coincidentally I'm sure, large sums had been wagered throughout the land.)

Where were we? Yes, so anyway, that is why you won't get anything like the multiplied odds on the Champion Hurdle.

Did anyone have the forecast on here and know what the Exchange paid?

the horse in 2nd was 66/1 so you have to halve that price to get approx price to finish 2nd

If you think the CSF return is poor - it's probably better that you don't look at the Trifecta!

The 150/1 third has resulted in a Trifecta dividend of just 10 x the CSF

I saw them yesterday and thought how poor they were.

longbridge I think I saw high hundreds for a few quid
