- ✓Explains the difference between rank, probability, and fair odds.

- ✓Connects educational context directly to the live model ratings page.
- Open the live board and see which races carry real pressure, not just short prices.
- Read the model rank, the fair price and the market move together — the disagreement is the signal.
- Upgrade when the free view stops being enough, not before.
Every runner is scored on 391 inputs, and every favourite runs 4 false-favourite checks.
Rating versus probability
A rating can show relative strength, but probability provides the scale. FormRace keeps probability and fair odds visible so users can interpret the signal with more context.
Why the market still matters
Market movement can confirm, contradict, or reprice a model view. The strongest workflow compares the model board with live market intelligence rather than treating either source alone as final.
How to read the board
Look for agreement between model rank, fair odds, runner context, and market movement. When those signals conflict, use the race page to understand why.
