I'm now in net profit on most race types except those with an odds on favorite. They just seem to trip me up every time. Do people adopt a different strategy when a horse moves odds on? Sorry for the advice scrounging but its the only race type that is really stumping me :( any advice would be appreciated

I struggle on certain types of races so part of my path to profit was to just avoid them. You will tend to find these shorter priced races can be very volatile but also certain types of races like sellers and maidens can make things even worse.

Try and adapt your trading style on these races. Maybe set up a seperate account so you can practice on them without destroying you hard work.

Some people love short prices others hate them. You may want to switch to the 2nd or 3rd favourite where prices are likely to be bigger. But you will find the fill rate is lower here so it's harder to exit in a defined manner.
