Now, taking a closer look at the SP favourite, categorised by its final status - firmer, steady, easer - across the five days, December 16 to December 20.
Here it is important to note that this is very unlikely to be a representative sample of betting movements over the last 30 minutes of wagering.
Table - SP favourite - firmer, steady, easer - December 16 to December 20
| 15m | 5m | SP | starters | win | 2nd | 3rd | unp |
overall | fse | fse | firm | 73 | 27 37% | 15 21% | 4 5% | 27 37% |
overall | fse | fse | steady | 14 | 7 50% | 4 29% | 1 7% | 2 14% |
overall | fse | fse | ease | 40 | 13 33% | 8 20% | 6 15% | 13 33% |
fse = any of firm, steady, ease
Despite the short-term nature of this recent study, the data itself has proved interesting, and has encouraged me to research a longer period of betting fluctuations. Accordingly, I will commence a study of the full 2022-2023 racing season in the next article in this series.
