The Back The Beaten Favourite is one of the most interesting Betfair horse racing trading strategies.

It focuses on what happens after the race, not before it.

When a short-priced favourite gets beaten, the market often overreacts in the next race or the horse’s next run. Traders who understand how Betfair markets behave can sometimes find value opportunities.

• What the Back The Beaten Favourite strategy is
• Why the Betfair market often overreacts to beaten favourites
• The situations where this strategy can work best
• What data serious traders analyse before backing
