Hi MarkV,
Thanks for the reply. I do have a slight problem with this though...
What happens if horse1 has odds = 3.0 and horse2 has odds = 3.0, and horse3 has odds = 8
Both horse1 and horse2 have equal odds, so how does MFP determine the favourite? I may be thinking too deeply, but horses 1 and 2 are joint favourite, so the SECOND favourite will be horse3, which is clearly more than 5 points away from the 'favourite' - so to speak.
Thanks
Mark.
