@mike-palmer Chris beat me to it!

I've just downloaded the strategies as is. I did think maybe I could tighten up the filters somehow, but wasn't sure which criteria to change.

I'll take another look - thanks!

@james-rome no sorry mate i never tracked the odds for this i have a similar filter with a lot more games and the average odds are 5.0 on the lay side which is how i trade. id imagine this filter would come out between 5-6.

@mick-mcmahon said in Employed Trading - What Commission Would You Expect?:

Just found the thread. Have you started it @Richard-Latimer ?

I'm intrigued by the why of you doing this. Unless he has a huge wad of capital to drop that you need, then would 10% or so be worth the extra hassle?

It's all about afforability checks for houses etc.... Funny enough self employed sportstrader isn't well received. Not started it yet no. Right now, I'm just trading for him and taking commission while we try to sort the rest out.

@ian-wylie Thanks Ian, thats great.

@maverick-travis may be best referring this to @ryan as I don't know his criteria

You can open a window and not worry about the whole cast of A Bug’s Life wandering in!

YES! I have a bit of an OCD issue with insects in the house, if I see or hear a fly in the house then I can't rest until I get it out.

I keep 75 tarantulas in my office (plus assorted mantises and scorpions). They are great for keeping the flies down....

Morning guys, quick question re greyhound tracks. Does anyone have or know a website I can find out what the distances are that the split times are taken from ? Just for the standard distances.

I did come across a site a few years ago that had this info on but for the life of me I can't find it now.

You use demo mode to practise for a few days to make sure you know what you are doing, and to ensure bots work as they should. Then you switch to real mode. If you are trading, £1 should only result in pennies being lost if you mess up. 🙂

@adam
Hi Adam, I find it more straight forward with using simple tick boxes that you can select or de-select.
Just my thoughts.

Interesting article here (hopefully the link works) on how the AFL Top 8 doesn’t shift too much from what it looks like in Round 7.

Potential trade opportunities here. Richmond is possibly the best lay opportunity at face value?

Bit late maybe (I've only just joined), but take a look at Bang Bang Bets. It runs in a browser so not a problem on any OS, I just don't know if its any good, as still looking at strategies, so haven't tried it properly.

Any feedback from more experienced folk than me (which is everyone at the moment) would be useful though.

Thanks

@david-pickett cheers for this!

@keith-anderson flip me what kind of mates do you have, that's awful!

@simji Yep, I hear you and have had similar challenges and outcomes. I trade across Winner, Top5 and Top 10 markets but it’s really only winner where you have consistent liquidity throughout.

A couple of ideas (strategies is too generous) I’ve been toying with lately:

1. Lay 3rd round leader - Laying 3rd round leader if they’re outside Top 50 OWGR and leading by 3 or less strokes. Historically have poor conversion rate. I need to get sharper on entry odds

2. Laying low faves - Looking where strong faves are too short. Eg: I got Rahm this weekend gone at $1.28 for Top 5 finish after 2nd round. He was up top (or 2nd) but a log jam of players within a few strokes of lead. My theory was there’s likely to be movement and worse case he’s unlikely to won’t shorten much more after 3rd round unless he streaks to lead. I was able to exit after 3rd Rd at @ $1.43 for nice green.

I’m starting to collect data on how the Top 5 shifts through the rounds as I’ve been reading some stuff around the fact we place to much emphasis on players “being hot” and actually history suggests in most cases they come back to the norm during the 4 rounds. I’m also tracking how the winners generally track over the 4 rounds to see what trends I can find (if any).

NB: I’ve tried to find historical data on leaderboards across rounds but haven’t had much luck so I’m starting with my own data.

@oliver-preen timely as I have just spoken with a google sheets wiz kid about building something for you guys!

@stuart-capstick This needs to be on a bumper sticker

@oliver-preen Oliver I like your plans and reading them. mine are similar especially in terms of the number of trade and only trading one match in a specific time slot as well as the number of games you trade, I Started this before christmas and found it worked well

The trading plan idea is a good one, I have that and find its useful.

Bankroll, I have after watching Ryans video on it, use only 2% of my bank so far and plan to scale upwards as bank grows, and in line with the videos I have watched here. I think the most I would see myself staking as bank grows is 5%, but thats way of in the distance yet.

@Oliver-Preen Another excellent video this and again something I have been guilty of, through not focusing on 1 strategy.

I have noticed from my accounts that focusing on 1 strategy makes a huge amount of difference as long as the trades are carefully selected.

Thanks for sharing

@martin said in My NFL picks - Green Bay Packers @ Baltimore Ravens:

@johnnys I remember him, good kicker if I recall correctly!

Correct @Martin he is in the hall of fame and he has all the records a kicker can get, only he never did win the super bowl.

He is such a great down to earth person and today he sometimes is one of the NFL commentators for the danish tv statioen.
