What Is A Racing Post Favourites Bet?
A Racing Post Favourites spread bet is a prediction on the performance of the favourites, as forecast in the Racing Post newspaper, in each race at a meeting. The favourite is the first named horse in the forecast. E.g. Heaven Knows was the Racing Post Favourite in the following race: Points are awarded as follows: 25 points for winning; 10 points for finishing second and 5 points for finishing third. Racing Post Favourite’s finishing lower than third receive 0 points. If you feel the forecast favourites will do well at a particular meeting, you would bet high (Buy) on the Racing Post Favourites market, where as if you think they will do badly, you would bet low (Sell).
