Methodology & Performance
How We Stay Ahead — The Bet Smart & Win Edge
The AI selects the three most probable outcomes in each race, ranked in order of confidence. The third selection is included to support smart place and multi-leg strategies.
At Bet Smart & Win, we leverage the Bookmakers’ Margin against them to uncover the True Market Value. Our approach focuses on Overround, Probability, Value and Sectional Efficiency to identify fair opportunities on a demanding, undulating track like Sandown. ROI: 92.3% Strike Rate: 27.2%
These ROI and Strike Rate figures are based on our Subscribers’ Gold & Silver Tiers.
How We Pick Winners
Our subscribers use a strict set of criteria based on Overround, Probability, and Value.
How To Read the Format
We use the bookmaker’s Overround (margin) against them. Our model removes this margin to reveal the Fair Market Value. We recommend avoiding bets when the Overround exceeds 115% wherever possible.
The next key tool is Normalized Probability (NP) versus Implied Probability (IP). The golden rule — NP should be higher than IP for a true value edge.
Value is our final measure. Each selection is labelled as AF (Above Fair), F (Fair), or BF (Below Fair) to show whether the odds truly represent value.
When all these conditions align, the selection card will display a green border.

- Trip: 1m7f99y
- Trainer RTF%: 35%
- Odds: 2/7 (1.29)
- Overround: 104%
Analysis
Proven Grade 1 form round here; sharp 2m chase on good ground suits his efficient, slick-jumping style.
SecEff-J: strong through the line over hurdles; sectional profile suggests he can control a steadily-run 2-runner tactical race.
Rock-solid winning chance but model notes cramped odds (NP < IP), so not a value play.

- T: Paul Nicholls
- Trip: 1m7f99y
- Trainer RTF%: 60%
- Odds: 11/4 (3.75)
- Overround: 104%
Analysis
Course configuration should suit but lacks Salver’s graded depth; slight stamina query at strong 2m if they go hard.

- Overround: 107%
Analysis
Stays 2m4f well and shapes like this right-handed, jumping test will bring more improvement.

- Trip: 2m3f173y

- Trip: 1m7f216y
- Trainer RTF%: 60%
- Odds: 13/8 (2.63)

- Trip: 2m4f

- Odds: 5/2 (3.50)
- Overround: 112%

- T: Ben Pauling
- Trip: 3m37y
- Trainer RTF%: 36%

Analysis
High-class at peak but recent profile patchy; big Sandown fences no place for rustiness.
SecEff-J: historic stamina there but recent late fades temper enthusiasm.
Capable of winning if bouncing back, but model marks him short of true value.
Details

- Trip: 1m7f216y
- Trainer RTF%: 40%

- Overround: 120%
Analysis
Debut suggested plenty of ability; Sandown test will expose strengths and weaknesses.
SecEff-J: closing work good without matching the top pair’s projection.
Reasonable price; sits as fair third pick.
Analysis
Confidence Factors: Strong pointing form with robust finishing sectionals; handles a trip and stiff finish; booked with a top jumps jockey; NP (28%) comfortably exceeds IP (24%), giving a clear value edge.
