    The reasoning behind this is that they are over bet and I hope that this will make it a profitable strategy

    Perhaps they are not overbet purely because of the fact a lot of punters will not back them because of the misconception that odds on represents poor value. I hope that this misconception continues as it means the rest of us can make money,

    Well nobody makes anyone put money on a horse at such cramped odds

    If it wins you make money. One of the safest strategies out there is to back horses that are very short odds.

    If you had backed all horses this year at odds of 8/13 or less then you would have had 447 winners from 633 runners and a profit of 3%. Longest winning run would have been 13, longest losing run 6.

    If you had restricted it to odds of 1/4 or less you would have had 109 winners from 120 runners and a profit of 11%. Longest winning run would have been 22 and the longest losing run 3.

    WTF Eglantine Du Seuil?! 1/12 fav beaten - 3rd!!! - by a combined 48/1 runners ... punters sold down the river:

    At those odds you would expect it to lose 1 race out of 13 so not that big a surprise.

    It is only the same as a horse winning at 12/1 and we don't express amazement when that happens.

    It is very irritating though when you've backed it, @Alastairwon't be happy because it was his nap in his quest to win the most winners competition.

    I can see the logic of pulled up horses but not so sure about unseated, not sure I'd want to fall off a horse on purpose.

    Having said that the AE for unseated horses is a very impressive 1.12. The AE for PU is also good at 1.01 so there could well be mileage in this process.

    For unseated some other stats are :-

    Chases AE 1.17

    Forecast favourite AE 1.20

    Novices AE 1.25

    DSLR < 15 AE 1.25

    Encouragingly last year was the best out of the last 7 with an AE of 1.29.

     

    For pulled up some other stats are :-

    Chase AE 1.03

    Heavy going AE 1.09

    Distance > 25f AE 1.05

    Forecast favourite AE 1.04

    Conditional jockeys AE 1.07

    Female horses AE 1.04

    Ireland AE 1.05

    Handicaps AE 1.04

    December - February AE 1.09

    DSLR < 14 AE 1.11

    One downside is that last year the AE was 0.92 and 0.95 for the last 4 years.
