Mind The Gap

I've just been reading about a miraculous new discovery called "The Gap concept". Is this the next wonder since "The Secret"? Pray tell us, Jon, in your infinite wisdom, what is "The Gap"? In a word - Disparity. Say what? When I first wrote The Bank Vault Report it became clear to me that live odds disparity was a very good way of measuring relative risk in wagering on horse races. Now this is not an exact science, but clearly if we have a Favourite going off at Evens and the next best runs at 6/1 it's worth sitting up and taking a look. The problem is odds can steam or drift and late non-runners can really put a spanner in the works. Nevertheless live odds disparity can be a useful guide to the strength of any given wager (this applies to lay bets just as well as back bets). If that's now known as The Gap Concept, so be it.
Btw if you fancy backing Favourites you could do worse than check out Nova Publication's "FFF" plan. They have just brought out a new staking system for those who have purchased the original plan, and, in testing, it works very well indeed.
