I'm going to ask a question that yes I know in advance will not lead anyone to the win window.
I'll also preface the question by saying the only purpose of asking the question is to assist myself (and others) in creating a better betting line.
Say for example you have 3 independant handicapping factors that each are going to win 30% of the time: this could be 3 public selectors OR maybe a combination of a power number, speed figure and an overall software selection OR any combination of 3 things that independantly predict 30% winners.
For the GENERAL "note general" purpose of a betting line...will this 30% become 31%, 33%, 36%, stay at 30% or approach 39%?
I could go a step further and say what if the factors were 35% or MSW races etc? But really just looking for a simple answer base on your experience or better yet.....your database?
I have some general vibes based on my research but I always like to cross check it with someone elses experience?
