back the field

The phrase "back the field" is commonly used in sports betting and horse racing. It refers to placing a bet on multiple participants or contenders in a competition, rather than betting on a specific individual or team. By backing the field, bettors cover a broader range of possibilities and increase their chances of winning. It is particularly used when there is one clear favorite or when the odds for specific participants are uncertain or unfavorable.
