hi, i urgently need to know how to find out how much betfair market % has been bet on particular horse?
hi, a particular guide i am browing thru requires me to know how much money matched in a racing market has been matched on a particualr horse for example, newcastle 14.05 pm, on horse named Akeela. It requires at least 60% of the money matched to have been macthed on that horse. How can i find out? By cliking some buttons in betfair? Reduction factor etc?? PLesae help guys
To do it manually, you can get the traded volume from the Betfair website by clicking on the horses name. Below the chart is the total traded market volume and the traded volume for that particular horse. You can then work out how many percent of the market that particular horse holds. The reduction factor on that same screen will give you a rough estimate too, although that will only be updated periodically, whereas using the traded volume to calculate the percentage would give you a ‘live’ value.

Mathematicians in sports/horse betting?
Hello,
I am a mathematician and recently I have been investigating the use of mathematicians in hedge funds and such. But it seems to me that the same types of modeling and arbitrage techniques could be used in sports betting (and horses/dogs, etc). Are there people/companies that do this? I feel like it would be even easier to make money in THIS realm (as opposed to Wall Street) since nowadays there are tons of hedge funds all doing similar things, but it seems to be new in gambling…
The last word in your question is your answer. It’s called gambling for a reason. You can calculate all you want, but in the end, you’re still gambling. Unless you cheat the odds in your favor will never be 100%. That said, you can increase the odds in your favour by understanding the rules of the game and doing the math. I know nothing about hedge funds but in gambling terms you need to have deep enough pockets to take the “strain” of a run of losses. As long as you have enough money to stay in the game, and you are playing so that you win more often than you lose, in the long run you will make money. There are as many systems as there are gamblers and every gambler I’ve known has been broke.
I in no way mean to insult you and I’ve used words like gambling and game,play etc., ’cause that’s what you’re doing whether you wish to call it mathematics and hedge funds notwithstanding. I’ve seen and read about A math prof and a bunch of his students taking on casinos at blackjack. The way it was presented, it seems like brains beat the casino, but that’s simply not true. They won because they cheated and the only reason we heard about it at all is because they got caught.
I wish you the best of luck, and I mean that sincerely because in the end that’s what will mean the difference between a retirement fund and broke no matter how much thinking you do.

HELP i want to lease a horse but need help!!?
i live in North Carolina and i want to lease a horse for my daughter she is twelve and has been around horses before she was potty trained. I need a barn that leases horses out or lets you rent one
in need a barn close to jacksonville please and if you could please tell me how much they are leasing for and what additional fee if have to pay (like the farrier or food) if you could find one that all you have to pay is one bill a month thx. ps i wont pay anything over 800 us dollars a month
ps i the horse i am going to lease has to have the following:horse that is fast and has good-looks and has some jumping ability or barrel racing and the horse cant beover 12yrs if you find one and want to talk to me personally just I M me at cheerios334265@yahoo.com
The horse you described probably doesn’t exist. Barrel racing ( a western speed event) is very different and requires much different skills than jumping. Horses can do both at beginner levels but you’ll be running 18-20 second barrel times and jumping low heights. I understand you said one or the other – but you should probably pick a discipline if you want to excel at anything.
I thought you said you were leasing for a 12 year old girl. I don’t care how well a child rides’ a barrel horse / hot jumper needs something more than an adolescent rider. I was riding ‘hot’ horses at that age and it caused more problems than it was worth – but it was all we owned. If you’re leasing – get something both safe AND capable. You never know lease horses as well as you know your own as you simply aren’t on them every day. Go for safe and sound first – then additional things.
Search Equine.com for leases -there are tons or horses that cost less than 2 months lease at your standards.

Kentucky Derby Results/Payout explanation?
Can someone explain the results/payout section about the Kentucky Derby.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Kentucky_Derby
Specifically for this set of numbers here on this site?
THANKS! I’m new to this and my mom and I were confused about what it means!
So then the 1mill+ stake is how much was at stake for that horse based on bets made in favor of it?
So then the 1mill+ stake is how much was at stake for that horse based on bets made in favor of it?
If you bet $2 for Mind the Bird to win, you got $103 back. the other two numbers are for place and show.
the $1 exacta means if you bet $1 for the race to finish with the #8 horse first and the #16 horse second you received $1037 for your $1. If you bet the race to finish in 8-16-2 you received $20,750 for your $1 and if you were crazy enough to bet $1 on 8-16-2-7 finished, you won a mere $278k
