Every Tool a Racing Punter Needs

The same engine that powers our sports arb scanner runs across every AU race — thoroughbred, harness and greyhound. Pricing pulled live, sharpened against the international book, surfaced where you can act on it.

Next to jump — every AU meeting

One screen, every venue. Live countdowns to every upcoming race across Randwick, Flemington, Eagle Farm, Caulfield, Rosehill, Doomben, Menangle, The Meadows, Wentworth Park and the country circuits. Filter by code, jurisdiction or jump window.

Racing arbs — bookmaker and exchange

Two-leg surebets on the win market across the 140+ bookmakers we scan, plus Betfair Exchange back/lay arbs. Every opportunity ships with edge percent, exact stake split, jump time, and one-tap links to both legs.

Steamers & drifters live feed

Watch the market move in real time. Every runner shortening (steamer) or blowing (drifter) is logged with opening odds, current odds, percentage move, and the bookmakers driving the swing. Tap a runner to jump to the race detail view.

Fair odds & expected value

Overround-stripped fair odds calculated from sharp market consensus, with positive-EV flagging per runner. See which favourites are underpriced versus the true book and which roughies actually run a number.

Form, jockey & barrier

Last-five form strings, jockey, trainer, weight and barrier draw alongside live prices. Sort runners by fair odds, EV, market overlay or current price to surface the angles that matter.

Top favourites & bookmaker leaderboard

Highest-confidence favourites across today’s card ranked by implied probability, plus a per-meeting bookmaker leaderboard showing who is paying top dollar on your odds-settings of choice.

KrokBot AI picks — 3-model ensemble

Three independent sub-models (2 logistic regression + 1 heuristic) score every runner on 10+ signals. Premium picks — where all 3 models agree at high confidence — are surfaced with full score breakdowns. Backtested against historical data for strike rate tracking.

Speed map & sectional times

Projected running style (Leader/On-Pace/Midfield/Backmarker) with early-speed index, plus last-600m, last-400m and last-200m sectional splits. Surfaces which runners actually close fastest.

Weather, track state & rail position

Live BOM weather — wind speed, direction, rainfall — plus penetrometer reading, rail position, and track condition (Firm/Good/Soft/Heavy) at every venue.

Horse profile & pedigree

Condition splits (firm/good/soft/heavy), first-up/second-up stats, winning range, sire progeny dry vs wet rates, and full pedigree lineage with modal drill-down.

Class profile & form signals

Current class rating, peak rating, highest class won, optimal rating band, and automated form signals — coloured chips flagging positive and negative form indicators per runner.

Race replays & tote pools

Embedded replay video for resulted races, plus live tote pool totals, dividends, exotic pool jackpots (Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta) and Same Race Multi availability.

ML-Picked Winner — Powered by 3 Models

Three independent sub-models — two logistic regressions and one heuristic scorer — rank every runner from career stats, track fit, form signals, class rating, barrier, weight, connections and market overlay. When all three agree at high confidence, the pick is surfaced as Premium.

Pick Tiering

Premium picks (all 3 models agree, ML probability ≥ 0.725) are the tightest filter — the cream of the crop. Standard picks are strong on 2 of 3. Value picks show model disagreement but positive expected value.

Score Breakdown

Every pick shows the individual sub-model scores: career win rate, track/distance fit, form trend, value gap vs fair odds, freshness, class rating, weight edge, barrier draw, and jockey/trainer connections.

Backtest Results

Backtested against historical race results with tier-based strike rates and ROI tracking. Premium picks historically deliver the highest strike rate — but past performance does not guarantee future results. Use as one input alongside your own analysis.

Backtest results are from historical data and are not indicative of future performance. Premium picks reflect approximately 5% of the total card. All picks should be used as one input alongside your own analysis.

How Racing Arbs Work

Racing prices move fast and bookies disagree often. When the implied probability across two prices falls under 100 percent, a guaranteed-profit arb exists. We find them, you place them.

01

Scan every meeting, every 30s

Every Australian race card on every code. Every runner, every bookmaker, every market refresh — including Betfair Exchange back and lay prices.

02

Detect mispricing

Our engine compares win-market prices in real time. Any pair (bookie/bookie or bookie/exchange) that produces a sub-100% book triggers an arb opportunity with edge percent and exact stake split.

03

Place both legs, bank profit

Tap through to each bookmaker, place both legs at the calculated stakes, and lock in your return. Log it in the bet tracker and watch your closing line value compound.

Exchange Arbs & Bookmaker-to-Book Arbs

Two distinct arbitrage surfaces — each with its own edge profile. Bookmaker-to-bookmaker arbs exploit price disagreement between corporate books. Exchange arbs exploit the gap between Betfair’s back/lay market and fixed-odds bookmaker prices.

Bookmaker vs Bookmaker

When Sportsbet prices a runner at $6.00 and Bet365 at $6.50, the implied probabilities may fall under 100% — a guaranteed-profit arb. Krok Odds scans all 100+ bookmaker prices every 30 seconds and surfaces the exact stake split, edge percent, and one-tap links to both legs.

  • Win arbs across corporate books
  • Each-way arbs (win + place legs)
  • Multi-leg dutching arbs

Exchange (Betfair) vs Bookmaker

Betfair Exchange back and lay prices often diverge significantly from fixed-odds books — especially on roughies and in low-volume markets. When the exchange lay price exceeds the bookmaker’s implied probability, a back/lay arb exists. We show matched volume (AUD) to flag liquidity depth so you know if the arb is executable at your stake.

  • Back at bookmaker / lay at Betfair
  • Liquidity depth per runner
  • Exchange-only lay price tracking

Horse Racing Betting Tips & Strategy

Eight rules that separate long-run-winning punters from the rest. Every one is mechanical, repeatable and powered directly by the tools on the Krok Odds racing screen — no tipsters, no gut feel, no “he’s flying at trackwork”.

01

Always line shop — never bet at one book

On a typical AU metro race, the best Win price across 140+ bookmakers is 4–9% higher than the worst. Backing a $5 horse at $4.60 vs the best price of $5.00 hands the bookie 8% in pure margin every bet. Krok Odds sorts the top price per runner by default — back into the best available, not the first one you see.

02

Strip the overround before you stake

A AU metro book typically prices to 115–120% — meaning the implied probabilities of every runner add up to ~1.18, not 1.00. Our fair-odds engine devigs proportionally against the sharpest market reference, so a $5 favourite at 20% implied actually has a ~17% true win chance. Bet against fair odds, not advertised odds.

03

Chase positive expected value, not winners

A losing $30 bet at $4 can still be the correct play if fair was $3.20 (you got 25% overlay). Long-run profit comes from compounding +EV decisions, not from a hot streak. Filter the Racing screen by EV ≥ 3% and let variance do its work over 100+ bets.

04

Track closing-line value (CLV)

If you consistently bet runners whose price shortens by jump time, you are beating the closing line — the single strongest predictor of long-run profit. The Krok Odds bet tracker logs your stake price vs the SP automatically so you can audit CLV month by month.

05

Steamers > drifters for sharp money

When a runner firms from $8 → $5 across multiple bookies in the hour before jump, it usually reflects sharp money or insider stable confidence. Drifters are noisier — they can mean the same money simply went elsewhere. Use the steamer board as a confirmation tool, not a standalone signal.

06

Dutch the chances, don’t back single horses

Dutching distributes your stake across multiple runners so each one returns the same profit. On a Cup field of 24, backing the top three fair-odds runners in proportion to their implied probability gives you ~40% strike at ~3.5% edge — better risk-adjusted return than blasting one runner. Use the free dutching calculator to lock the stake split.

07

Spread your bookmaker accounts

Sharp punters do not get limited overnight — they get limited because they back the same book every time at the top price. Krok Odds shows every bookmaker offering each runner so you can rotate stakes across 4–8 active accounts and stay under the radar.

08

Each-way only when the place is +EV

An each-way bet is really two bets: a Win bet at advertised odds and a Place bet at (advertised odds − 1) × 1/4 or 1/5. On long-priced runners ($20+) with strong placing form (3+ placings in last 5 starts), the Place leg is often +EV on its own. Krok Odds shows fair Win and fair Place side by side.

Every Data Point — The Deep Data

The racing screen carries more data per runner than any other AU odds tool. Most of it lives in collapsible panels that only load when you open them — fast to scan, deep when you need it.

Speed Map

Projected running style (Leader / On-Pace / Midfield / Backmarker), early-speed index, and settling position for every runner. Built from measured pace-band data, not guesswork.

Weather & Track State

Live BOM weather at the venue — wind speed, direction, rainfall, chance of rain, penetrometer reading, rail position, and track condition (Firm/Good/Soft/Heavy). Updates on meeting load.

Sectional Times

Last-600m, last-400m and last-200m sectional splits, closing speed ratio, and average late speed from recent runs. Surfaces which runners actually finish fastest.

Horse Profile & Condition Splits

Win/place record by track condition (firm, good, soft, heavy), first-up / second-up / third-up career stats, winning distance range, days since last win, and sire progeny stats on dry vs wet tracks.

Class Profile & Fit

Current class rating, peak rating, highest class won, and whether today’s race falls within the runner’s optimal rating band. Class difference flagged when a horse is out of its depth or dropping in grade.

Horse Pedigree

Sire and dam lineage with progeny performance data — sire progeny win rates on dry vs wet tracks, helping assess breeding fit to today’s track condition and distance.

Form Signals

Automated form indicators surfaced as coloured chips: positive (e.g. last-start winner, track specialist) and negative (e.g. first-up concern, class jump). Each signal has a sentiment and detail tooltip.

Market Movement Panel

Book-by-book price movement from opening to current. See which bookmaker is paying top dollar, which has drifted, and the percentage swing per book. Flucs (TAB fluctuations) shown as a timeline.

Racing Post Data

Racing Post Rating (RPR), Official Rating (OR), Timeform Speed figure, and Master Rating imported from international form data. Extra signals for runners with UK/Irish form lines.

Connection Form

Jockey and trainer win strike rates from Betfair exchange ride data, plus track-specific win rates from connection stats cache. See if your jockey/trainer combo wins at this venue.

Race Replays

Embedded replay video for resulted races. Watch the run back to verify finishing position, interference, or sectional performance before your next bet on the same horse.

Racing Analytics Dashboard

Backtest sandbox to test strategies against historical data, model comparison charts, calibration curves, equity curves, and ensemble consensus views. Available at /racing/analytics.

Racing Glossary

The terms you’ll see across the Krok Odds racing screen — defined plainly.

Steamer
A runner whose odds are shortening — usually a sign of confidence money or stable backing. Tracked live with opening vs current price.
Drifter
A runner whose odds are blowing out — typically reflects money moving away from the runner toward shorter-priced contenders.
Overround
The total implied probability of all runners in a market. A 115% book bakes in a 15% theoretical bookmaker margin you have to overcome.
Fair odds
The price that would exist with no bookmaker margin — calculated by devigging the book and adjusting against a sharp baseline.
EV (Expected Value)
(Win Price × Fair Win Probability) − 1. Positive EV means the offered price is higher than the true odds. The only metric that matters long-run.
CLV (Closing Line Value)
The price you backed minus the starting price (SP). Positive CLV across 100+ bets is the strongest indicator of skill in racing.
Best Tote / Top Fluc
A guarantee from a bookmaker to pay you the best of the three tote dividends or the top fluctuation. Often lifts your effective price 5–15%.
Each-way
A combined Win + Place bet. The Place portion pays at a fraction (1/4 or 1/5) of the Win odds if the runner finishes in the placings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, sometimes 4th).
Dutching
Staking multiple runners in the same race so that each one returns the same profit if it wins. Reduces variance compared to backing a single horse.
Back / Lay (Exchange)
On Betfair Exchange, Back = bet a runner to win; Lay = bet a runner not to win. Lay prices often exceed AU bookmaker prices on roughies.
Speed Map
A visual projection of where each runner is expected to settle during the race — leader, on-pace, midfield or backmarker — based on measured early-speed data and pace-band analysis.
Sectionals
Time splits for the last 600m, 400m and 200m of a race. Faster sectionals indicate a strong finisher. Used to identify runners that close hard versus those that fade late.
Track Condition
The state of the racing surface — Firm, Good, Soft or Heavy. Measured by the penetrometer (surface moisture/compaction). Some horses perform significantly better on specific conditions.
Penetrometer
A device that measures track surface firmness. Lower readings mean a harder track; higher readings indicate softer, wetter ground. Published by the track curator before each meeting.
Rail Position
Where the inside rail is set relative to its true position. An out rail gives on-pace runners more room; a true rail favours front-runners. Published by the track curator.
Class Rating
A numerical rating assigned to each horse based on its racing ability. Used to determine which races a horse is eligible for and to assess whether it is above or below the class of today’s race.
Same Race Multi (SRM)
A multi-leg bet within a single race — combining win, place, or finish-position selections across multiple runners. Offered by PointsBet and select bookmakers.
Exotic Pool
Parimutuel betting pools for multi-runner bets — Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta, First Four, and Quadrella. Pool totals and jackpots are shown when available from TAB.

Racing FAQ

Straight answers on coverage, codes, arbs and how the engine works.

Which Australian bookmakers does Krok Odds cover for horse racing?

Sportsbet, TAB, Bet365, Ladbrokes, Neds, PointsBet, BlueBet, BetRight, TABtouch, Dabble, Unibet and Betfair Exchange — every major AU-licensed bookmaker. We cross-reference every price against an international sharp baseline so fair-odds and EV calculations are anchored to the sharpest pricing on the planet.

What is a racing arbitrage (arb)?

A racing arb is a two-leg bet across the win market where the combined implied probability is under 100 percent, producing a guaranteed profit regardless of which runner wins. Krok Odds detects arbs between AU bookmakers and between any bookmaker and Betfair Exchange — including back/lay opportunities.

What are steamers and drifters?

A steamer is a runner whose odds are shortening — money is coming for it. A drifter is a runner whose price is blowing out. Krok Odds tracks every movement live, comparing opening price to current price, and showing the percentage swing and the bookies leading the move.

Do you cover harness and greyhound racing?

Yes. All three codes — thoroughbred, harness and greyhound — across every meeting in Australia. The same arb, steamer/drifter, fair-odds and EV engine runs across all three.

How often do racing odds refresh?

Every 30 seconds during racing hours. The same scan cycle that powers our sports arb scanner powers the racing surface.

Are these tips or selections?

No. Krok Odds is mathematics-only — odds comparison, arbs, market movers, overround-adjusted fair odds and EV. We do not sell tips, we do not run a tipping syndicate, and we do not predict winners. We surface where the market is mispriced and let you act on it.

Do you cover the Spring Carnival?

Yes — full Spring Carnival coverage including Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, Caulfield Cup, The Everest, Caulfield Guineas, Coolmore Stud Stakes, Mackinnon Stakes, Empire Rose Stakes and every undercard race at Flemington, Caulfield, Moonee Valley and Randwick. Fixed-odds Win and Place across 8+ AU bookies plus Betfair Exchange, refreshed every 5 minutes from market open to jump.

How early do you show ante-post (futures) prices?

Futures prices appear as soon as any of the 12+ tracked bookmakers open them. Melbourne Cup futures typically open in May–June; Cox Plate and Caulfield Cup futures in July–August; The Everest in March–April. Krok Odds tracks every price change from open through to jump.

Can I track my bets to measure closing-line value?

Yes — the Krok Odds bet tracker logs every bet you place with timestamp, price, stake and bookmaker. It then auto-pulls the starting price (SP) once the race jumps so you can audit your CLV across any rolling window.

What data does Krok Odds show for each runner?

Every runner card carries: live win/place/lay odds across 100+ bookies, fair odds and EV, form string, barrier draw, jockey, trainer, weight, claim, speed map, sectionals (l600/l400/l200), horse profile with condition splits and first-up stats, class rating and fit, form signals, market movement from opening price, Racing Post data (RPR, OR, Timeform), connection strike rates, and historical stats at track and distance.

What is a speed map in horse racing?

A speed map projects where each runner will settle during the race — leader, on-pace, midfield or backmarker — based on measured early-speed data and pace-band analysis. It helps you assess whether a runner will get a favourable run or be disadvantaged by the race shape.

How do the AI picks work?

KrokBot runs three independent sub-models — two logistic regressions and one heuristic scorer — that each rate every runner across 10+ signals (career stats, track/distance fit, form, class, barrier, weight, connections, market overlay). When all three models agree at high confidence (ML probability >= 0.725), the pick is surfaced as Premium. Picks are backtested against historical data for strike rate and ROI tracking.

What are exotic pool bets?

Exotic pools are parimutuel bets covering multiple runners in a single race — Quinella (first two in any order), Exacta (first two in order), Trifecta (first three in order), First Four and Quadrella. Krok Odds shows pool totals, jackpots and settled dividends where available from TAB.

Do you show race replays?

Yes — embedded replay video is available for resulted races on the race detail view. You can watch a runner’s previous performance back before backing them next time.
