Pricing & Probabilities — Quick Guide

Overround

Overround = (Σ Implied Probabilities of all runners) × 100

Bookmaker margin on the race. 100% is a “fair book”. Anything above 100% reflects the built-in margin.

Implied Probability (IP)

IP = 1 / Decimal Odds

The probability implied directly by the current odds (before margin is removed).

Normalised Probability (NP)

NPi = IPi / (Σ IP) × 100

Each runner’s probability rescaled so that all runners sum to 100% (margin removed). Use NP to compare “true” chances.

Overround / Margin — Colour Key

100–115% 116–117% 118% & Above 99% & Below

Lower is better for the bettor. We highlight the book’s tightness with these pills.

Value Flags

Above Fair (AF)
Our model’s fair chance exceeds the market’s price (NP > IP). Positive value.
Fair (F)
Model and market broadly agree (NP ≈ IP). Neutral value.
Below Fair (BF)
Market is shorter than our fair view (NP < IP). Negative value.

Sectional Efficiency (SecEff)

SecEff ≈ (Actual sectional distribution) / (Optimal distribution)

How efficiently a horse used energy across race segments (0–1+). ~1.00 indicates near-optimal pacing; sustained figures >0.88 are typically strong.

Score / %

Composite score from core signals (NP, SecEff, trainer/jockey, suitability, etc.)

Our single, comparable rating. Higher score = stronger all-round profile today.

Weights & Claims

Weight (Wt)
Declared racing weight carried by the horse. Shown as a simple pill for quick reference.
Claim
Allowance taken off by an eligible (often apprentice/conditional) jockey, effectively reducing carried weight.

Notes: We show Wt and any Claim as separate pills; no “up/down” commentary is implied here.
