Horse racing forecasts?

Any2Suited

I like doing forecasts in horse races and have done well linking reverse forecast doubles up. I am not complaining ....but on Saturday i did a reverse forecast double that came in:)and the 1st bet on the 4.40 at Bangor involved 2 joint favs at 9/4 but it paid £8.52 for £1 stake. My question is how? I'm sure normally it would be closer to £5-£6 ? Any answers would be welcome.

The exacta (pool bet) paid more as

Numbers 8 and 9 were much shorter in the tote betting for win and place , so prob money in the pool  for forecasts involving them

However the forecast ( computer straight forecast) is computer generated and it still seems generous what it paid

Forecasts and tricasts are pool bets the same as the tote jackpot or placepots.

They tend to reflect the odds in the market but can play more or less.

it all depends on the size of the pool and the number of units on placed on the winning selections.

be lucky rules apply.

Hope that helps.
