In both scenarios it depends on the overall situation and what your objective is.
For pre-race trading you have to look at the live overall picture and see how the other runners are trading, where the money's going, etc.
For in-running trading, some traders will have a statistically based strategy and decide in advance what price to lay at. Race readers will, of course, base their decisions on how the race is run, how well the horse is travelling, and crucially, what price it's trading at. It might even be sensible not to green-up at all and let the bet run.
Your question can't be answered just by looking at a race result and knowing that the 11/10F won.

It has been a day of carnage ir today. It has been absolutely brilliant with the last race of the day putting a rather large cherry on top.
That exit at sedgefield has cost a few 1.01 punters in the past! Mick Fitz laughing, bet the 1.01 backers aren't LOL

My SkyBet account has been suspended because I couldn't be bothered with the KYC check, so I can no longer log into Sporting Life to watch races. I see the favourite unseated in a NH flat race, presumably just before the line.
I often wonder if anyone actually makes money backing 1.01 winners or if they only make money until their first loser!

The leader was well clear and looked home for all money, I think £36,000 was matched at 1.01. The horse then saw where it had come out onto the track and veered off to its right depositing the jockey on the ground in the process, this left another horse clear but then from back in third place came the original favourite to pip the other horse and win the race having looked earlier well beaten and from memory £118 was matched at 1000.0 on the winner.

It's worth just doing for the replay access and the free Super6 footy comp for £250,000! Sod ever placing a bet with them....Derek27 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 21, 2018 6:04 pmMy SkyBet account has been suspended because I couldn't be bothered with the KYC check, so I can no longer log into Sporting Life to watch races.

I would be if I laid it for £1000!
His ROI after 154 bet requests is -4% so he needed that.
I should just add that the 'punters' have the luxury of 15 minutes to decide on accepting a bet. A time will come when I unlock a bet and the Betfair graph will go up a mountain - I can just sit there and watch while I think about laying the bet. All the 'pro' can do is cancel the bets that haven't been unlocked, and hope that I don't accept the one allocated to me.
