Dead Heat

[hahaha]

Hi guys, could some expirienced trader give me some info how often does Dead Heat happen in Horse racing?

Would this happen on daily basis, weakly, half a year...? What would you tell from you expirience. Thank you.

20-25 in a year, something like that

Looked at my database of Betfairs files and from 2008 there were 138 dead heats out of 83,490 races.

Thats just UK and IRE racing

Thank you both. It just happened we had one today, if you noticed.

In addition please, is there some sort of a trigger that a dead heat happens? Or does it just happen out of nowhere?

[hahaha]

I can't tell you, I am using excel and I was not at the computer at that time. I figured it out later, when I was checking P/L at Betfair site and checked with the stuff why I got only half of profit back.
