Could someone please post 2011 (and/or 2012) win favorites ROI by odds grouping; say .05 to .45; .50 to .95; 1.00 to 1.45, etc.

Do extreme favorites show a small profit? What about same stats for betting place and show? Are there differences by field size? by track? I know there are data significance issues as one further and further subdivides the data base.

Thanks

No. Used to but not even close any more.

What about same stats for betting place and show? Are there differences by field size? by track? I know there are data significance issues as one further and further subdivides the data base.

There is nothing exploitable without further handicapping.

Thanks for the response.

Though still negative, the ROI's are probably less negative than betting randomly.
