By the price you take

The picks as they were published at each time, at that time's prices. A pick that didn't run is void; the market's two favourites at that moment are settled on the same terms.

Points at 1pt level stakes, cumulative, settled at starting price.
These figures are at starting price. Our picks are often shorter by the off than when we publish them: taken at the day-before price, the same Top pick + Danger returned +11.27% over 17 days (703 races), and +4.19% at the 8am price with best odds guaranteed. Early prices aren't always available, bookmakers can restrict accounts that take them, and past results don't guarantee future ones.

The favourites win more often, as favourites do; ours win at longer prices, so backing our pair has lost about half as much as backing the two favourites. Both lose at starting price, so treat these as a guide to where the model is strongest, not a system.

How we count

  • 1 point on every pick at starting price. Each-way is 1 point each way at the race's place terms.
  • Four picks in most races: our top pick, the main danger, an each-way bet and an outsider in fields of 8 or more.
  • Accuracy is the average −log of the chance each side gave the winner: lower is better. The market has been the more accurate so far, so our fair prices are an opinion, not a promise.
  • Results come from the end-of-day results file and are settled automatically; nothing is edited by hand.
