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