What is the Field vs Favorite (Horse Racing) market?
In this market, you're betting on whether the field (all the horses in a race except for the
favorite) or the
favorite horse will achieve a better result. It's essentially a head-to-head
bet where the
favorite horse is pitted against the rest of the field. If you
bet on the field, you win if any horse other than the
favorite wins the race. If you
bet on the
favorite, you win if the
favorite wins the race. This type of
bet is popular in races where there's a clear
favorite, and it offers an interesting alternative to backing a single horse, spreading your risk across multiple
runners.
