The reason that happened is because you are better at winning bets on underdogs than favorites, at least so far. Since the method you initially used values bets on dogs more, you profited by betting your way. Like I said above, flat betting doesn't guarantee profit, but if you don't know whether you're better at betting dogs or favorites, it's the safe way to go. If you suck at picking favorites and are great at picking dogs, then do what you're doing. If you are about equal, flat bet, and you won't have to worry about it.
If you claim that flat betting if less profitable for you even though you are winning mostly favorites, the math does not add up. Flat betting essentially means betting more than 1 unit on favorites and less than 1 unit on underdogs. If you are up 13 units on favorites with your current system, imagine if you had been flat betting. You would have bet more on each one of those favorites and been up by a lot more than 13 units.
But the key part in my answer is to consider that flat-betting lowers the amount risked in the long run compared to your method, especially if you are betting more dogs than favorites, or if you are betting 1 unit on underdogs and *Whatever* to win 1 unit on favorites. Therefore, while you may have profited more by not flat betting, you have risked more by not flat betting too. Just increase your unit size in your flat-betting simulation, and you will find that you have profited as much if not more than your method, while risking the same amount.
