Short of making a late night visit to the stable, Betting Without the Favourite is the best way to take the favourite out of the equation. If you think that the horse that you fancy won't beat the favourite, you can still get a good price in the Betting Without Market.

As you will understand, because your horse doesn't have to beat the favourite, the price will be slightly reduced compared to the Starting Price (SP).

Example One
1st Sure Thing 2/1 Favourite
2nd Your Horse
3rd Always Third

In this example, we effectively ignore the fact that the favourite has finished 1st. For our purposes in this market, the result of the race is:

1st Your Horse
2nd Always Third
3rd Another Horse

Your horse has finished second to the favourite and in the Betting Without, this makes it a winning bet.		 Example Two
1st Your Horse
2nd Always Third
3rd Sure Thing 2/1 Favourite

In this example, the favourite hasn't won, your horse has, so you still have a winning bet.
