Common questions

Is there a draw bias at Leopardstown?

Yes, in places. Across 326 races from 2023-06-01 to 2026-06-09: over 7-8f — moderate: low (inside) favoured (iv 1.16); over 9-12f — strong: middle favoured (iv 1.24). Check the A/E column before betting it: a bias the market already prices in is not an edge.

Does the market already price in the Leopardstown draw bias?

Partly. Some favoured bands at Leopardstown show A/E below 1 (bias over-priced), others do not — the tables below show which is which.

What do IV, A/E and PRB mean?

IV (Impact Value) is the group's win rate versus all runners in the same races — 1.00 is neutral. A/E is actual wins versus what de-overrounded Betfair prices expected — below 1 means the market over-bets that group. PRB is the mean percentage of rivals beaten, a finer-grained placing measure.

Method: stall numbers grouped into field thirds (low/middle/high) per race, so field size never skews the groups; IV against same-course same-band baseline; A/E against de-overrounded Betfair SP. Small samples are flagged rather than hidden. Racing Alpha does not accept bets. 18+ · BeGambleAware.org.
