@john-folan yeah purely testing anyway so will look at all angles

John Folan

@martin Also, trobs as well maybe? This is going to be fun. Wait till we get our own speed rating

John Folan

Odds on Lays 10/11

13:10 Exeter. I am Maximus. Close challenger in Luttrell Lad who has a very nice record

14:50 Dundalk Ultramarine. Easy to oppose. Poor recent record and first time on Polytrack

John Folan

@martin place could be an angle? Maybe need to include those prices?

Martin

@john-folan must have been about 16.0 to place!

John Folan

@martin both dobbed for me. Probably a bit naughty putting money on them but the racecards are pucker and I checked the data elsewhere. They will have dob and trob info on them along with previous races inrunning lows and highs. This is going to be fun.

Bailey's Accolade Newcastle AW 6f 4:20 PM
Eponina Newcastle AW 7f 7:00 PM

Well the first one won at around 3.1 BSP so must have dobbed

John Folan

@john-folan purely testing this data but yes I agree good time to test. I like the idea of going through race cards and clicking a horse and adding in to a basket, then at the end you can export the ones you like together. What do you think about that?

Yes I do. Blinding idea

@Adam I may have explained what I mean better here

Nice work as usual! Lost in Monmarte.Lost in Hereford

It’s not been nice work as usual, mad run of odds ons winning lately. Was quite pleased with that one though. Especially with that name

@martin good time for an international break. We can hammer the new software for testing.

I shall watch those with interest. I like the racecards. Adams adding some of our recommendations this Thursday. It’s really starting to take shape

Odds On Lays 09/11

14:22 Hereford. Lost in Monmarte. Straight fight between this horse and Neville’s Cross

16:55 Newcastle Azure Blue. First time on this surface. Not won yet. Bit of a cavalry charge.

15:15 Fairyhouse Happy Dex. Up against another LTO winner. Not run since May.

@martin
You need to compare the lowest inrunning price to BSP as I have done here. Then underneath you want a percentage of times for that horse to have dobbed against your preferred number of races as below.

Then under staking, you need to set a back entry point.(I've done race start time so its close to bsp, but you can do five minutes or five seconds before the off. Then your hedge needs to be 100% profit or one point for dobs or 200% or 2 points for trobs. Watch it though, I'm not sure its working properly yet. It's just working on whether the horse wins or not. I've flagged it to poor Adam who is probably starting to regret letting me anywhere near this lol

Have you run any back testing successfully in past couple of days? Mine is stuck on an ever loading screen but may be the strategy I'm using

Yes. But depends on the strategy . It might be the rules. Anything with odds filters causes it to hang for example.
