@martin-futter Can we have a preview? Don’t need to see it, just give us an idea of what it will have? I’m looking forward to this as I like the interface on the football so assume it’s the same.

@nick-allan that will be something we incorporate into the new software, hopefully will be out in the next couple of months and won't cost you any extra if you are already a btc member

that would be great martin I'm looking forward to seeing it

Hi @John-Folan i been looking into horses and i seen your post sorry if this is a daft question but when you post 3.5 -9 is that lay at 3.5 back at 9 ?

Oh sorry mate, no you should only get involved in these if the horses are on that range just before the off. Outside of that long term just isn’t profitable. Sadly.

3.5-9 as usual

These are annoying at the moment. Starting to run in more so hopefully on the way to a few greens this week. 3.5-9 as usual

Anyone doing any lay 2 back trading on this forum? And if they are what software are you utilising? years ago I used to use the proform sheets on betdaq but of course they stopped doing those which was a shame. A lot of the software out there seems to be quite expensive can anyone recommend a cheaper alternative?

John Folan

Two today 3.5-9 as usual

John Folan

Bit of a losing run but that's down to the changeover and nothing this strategy hasn't seen before.

John Folan

Bit of a crap run at the moment. two today, 3.5-9 as usual

John Folan

Nothing hit yesterday. two today. Both currently outside the 3.5-9 odds filter

John Folan

Scratch yesterday. one selection today. It is currently outside the 3.5-9 odds filter

John Folan

3.5-9 as usual. Yesterday was disappointing on the TROB front as they all ran well.

@john-folan Thanks John, that falls in line with what I have read and heard. Just wanted to make sure that as I was following your sheet I understood the mechanics behind it. I don't have any software yet because football is what I started trading. I would like to get into horse racing, I like the fact you don't have to wait 90+ mins to find out if you have traded well. However, don't have an real knowledge of the sport other than gambling over the years as a punter. Thanks for the quick reply cant wait for the next sheet.

@john-folan Hi John, I am new to horse race trading and have seen your post so thought I would have a go, this was the first time I have followed your system. Even though I failed on one, I was happy with the outcome because by just following your DOB, I cold see how it was suppose to track. One question, I backed Full Throttle at 9, then drifted out to 15... So I laid at 5 and made my money. What time would be the best to back? Just before the race starts so you that you know the final back odds or like I did, about 30 mins before the race and hope that it doesn't drift. Best Regards. Mark

I have my bot set up to back at 5 seconds before the off. You could probably get better results backing further out like you did. Traders tend to mes with prices in the 15-20 minutes before the off and if a horse looks like it should run well which based on previous form these should you can probably get yourself a better price and be halfway to a dob or trob before the race starts. I’ve not really experimented that far out with these as I am usually scalping the markets then getting out before any of my automation starts.
