To be fair, Lee, novice punters are not going to understand 'value' in its truest sense - and it's not a subject that can be done justice anyway, in the short 'educational' segments they have on ITVR.

The target should be backing 2/1 shots at 9/4, 11/4 shots at 3/1.....or 16/1 shots at 25/1. Do that consistently, and you will consistently have value, and will (should) win money over the long-term.

This is rarely a consideration for the casual Saturday punter, but that's largely why they are net-losers - no matter if they snag the occassional winning 6/4 fave in a Saturday race.
