@keith yeah, go to the race where you have all the runners listed. Each horse has a back and lay price. At the top of that column it'll say "back all" and "lay all". Just click that
-
@dan-mackinnon thanks I wasn’t aware there was a “lay all” button. I’ll take a look
-
@keith no just the Betfair website
-
@dan-mackinnon are you using a bot for this? Fairbot?
-
@kc Yeah, so a couple of minutes before the race start just go 'Lay All' and set it to 1.5 and then keep. The idea is that at least 2 horses will get matched. Unfortunately the first one was a loser!
-
@dan-mackinnon I suppose the clue is in the name but do you lay all the horses in the race?
-
@dan-mackinnon very sensible, still worth testing thing forward as well as backward
-
Right, let's see how we get on. My Lay The Field strategy has some qualifiers.
Musselburgh
14.50
16.00
16.35
17.05I put my faith in the horse racing software, but will be using min. stakes!

@john-folan Hi John, Thanks again for sharing your strategies mate much appreciated, On the "Slow Horses" it has 4 options under "Going" but it's only showing 3? What's the hidden one, please?
The four are Heavy, Good to Soft, Good and Good to Firm. That’s the actual going not predicted. So check the actual going from the first race on that course when placing trades if you get my drift.

Hey @John-Folan you think be possiable to do the two below without a trading bot ?
Slow Horses yes, although I've just uploaded a bot for that so I don't forget to put them on. I'll post the selections as they come up. The other one you can too but you will need to filter the races as per the criteria and then keep an eye on the odds just before the off to make sure they are between 1.8-2.4. This for example is a list of the qualifying races today alone. So you would need to watch the odds on all of them.

Now this is a thing of utter beauty. Meet "Slow Horses". The idea behind this is to Dob horses over 5.0 just before the off that have a pace rating of 2 in the software in National Hunt Flat Races. This is the first time I have come across a strategy where the Dob is better than the Trob an tbh I love it. The logic being we are targeting Hold Up type runners. Everyone (I'm looking at you Caan Berry and "the badger") tells you to target front runners. Meaning there is value in trading higher priced horses that aren't. These are the settings. Again I am avoiding higher class racing. I've included Irish racing this time too.
The execution settings, showing I am targeting a trade out of 1 point(my initial stake). Again this is the standard £1 stake to get the flat point results.
The results. Not too shabby. Double the Strike rate and Halve the number of races. The strike rate needs to be 52% or higher on Dobs. This is holding at 61% which gives us a MASSIVE(Like West Ham Apparently) Edge. Tasty ROI as well and a small drawdown.
And now the magic. Small drawdown =50point bank. Again 2% of £100 compounding would give us £811 after the first year. Anyone building a bank needs to do this. So from 2 strategies compounding you would have over £1400 with not a huge initial outlay(2 x £100). I will post these every day there are selections.
