Best Bets Strategy

At Stats Insider, our "best bets" are strategically based on favourable odds and potential return on investment (ROI).

When a horse is given the "best bet" tag, it's not necessarily the most likely winner of the race. Instead, it highlights that the horse's odds are especially appealing and may offer a good ROI. So, while it may not be the favourite, it's seen as a calculated choice due to the balance between its chances of winning and the odds offered.

Placing bets on such horses can be a shrewd tactic, leading to profitable outcomes in the long run, even if they don't win every time.

Understanding Minimum Odds

Our "minimum odds" represent the lowest acceptable odds or payout for a bet. It helps bettors make informed decisions and avoid bets that may not offer sufficient value. If the offered odds are lower than the minimum odds, it's a signal to be cautious.
