I don't get it - what's this based on?

We've added a badge under the Win % for the competitors who've got the most money wagered on them by other players for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Favored for 1st - indicates the competitor with the most money wagered on them to come in first

Favored for 2nd - indicates the competitor with the most money wagered on them to come in second

Favored for 3rd - indicates the competitor with the most money wagered on them to come in third

You might notice that these indicators do not necessarily match the "Win %" ranking - meaning that you might have a competitor who's ranked higher under the Win % (for instance they've got the second highest Win %) but they aren't favored to come in second. This is just because the wagers to Win and the wagers to Place are different wagers....someone might have the second most amount of money wagered on them to win, but very little wagered on them to place - and these badges indicate the most amount of money wagered on the given competitor for the particular wager type (win, place or show).

All this is just to give you a better idea of who other people think will win, what you do with that information is up to you! You can go with the group - or choose the long shot!
