Hi @john-folan are you using BFBM for inrunning trades?

I use BFBM for anything I can automate and geeks toy for my manual trades so scalping and lay to backs

Hi @john-folan are you using BFBM for inrunning trades?

[John Folan]

Ok Today's Showing. Good Luck if you follow any. Probably should stick to Slow Horses and Trobs if you aren't botting as there is a lot to handle otherwise.

Trobs: Trob any between 3.5-9

Slow Horses. Dob any over 5.0 as close to the off as possible.

Zero Paced Dobs. Dob any over 10.0 as close to the off as possible.

Short Inrunning. Place a lay bet at 3.1 for any horse between 3.1 to 100. Bet persistence to keep in play

About break even yesterday. Would have been better but I missed a few winners on the short inrunning while I sorted the bot out. I am keeping score on everything I do so I can compare it to the software. It's matching quite nicely at the moment.

No Trobs Today

Slow Horses. Dob any over 5.0 as close to the off as possible.

Zero Paced Dobs. Dob any over 10.0 as close to the off as possible.

Short Inrunning. Place a lay bet at 3.1 for any horse between 3.1 to 100. Bet persistence to keep in play

Interesting day. Took a while to get the short inrunning bot firing, but seems to be working fine now, thta was a mistake by me as I altered a different bot to fit and left a favourite condition in. Small losses on the Slow Horses and Zero Paced, but nothing outside the ordinairy. Everything else doing ok.

[John Folan]

Just to make a point on the short inrunnings. It may look suicidal. BUT. Several will be knocked out by the initial odds filter and then a load more will not run in to the 3.1 for the trade to become active.

A much smaller percentage will go on to be actual trades. I do like to scare people though

[John Folan]

Today looks mental but a load will be knocked out on odds. I am now convinced that you will need a bot to manage your selections. I have a separate bank and different compounding levels for each strategy so things won't get out of control. I can then match the entry times to the horse software as well. This looks a lot to manage but with the right bot settings it really isn't. You have to look at this as your business and invest in the best tools you can afford to succeed. Once bfbotmanager get back to me on a variable I need, I will have fully automated the shortinrunning as well. Won't even need to import the selections. They will just need the bot turning on like the Short Odd Lays and Mr Driscoll's Favourite Backs.

Trobs. Trob any 3.5-9 as close to the off as you can. Cracking start to the month on these.

Slow Horses. Dob any over 5.0 as close to the off as possible.~

Zero Paced Dobs. Dob any over 10.0 as close to the off as possible.

Short Inrunning. Place a lay bet at 3.1 for any horse between 3.1 to 100. Bet persistence to keep in play

0 on Slow Horses.
-1 on Zero Paced Dobs(bot works tho)
+3 on Classic Trobs

Storming day on the favourite backs.

@keith This is what I have so far. It's not exact as I don't want any horse involved that is already trading below 3.1 involved. So I stuck a BSP filter in. It won't be exact as we don't know the BSP but you get the point and it will only be a few out either way. I can get bfbot to do that filter so we should be good to go. Looks tidy tbh. Couple of race filters and no wins in the last 5 races and the jobs a good un. It is actually profitable with just the no wins in last 5 races on it's own.

and the settings file

This is fantastic John thanks mate I'll take a look when I'm back at my PC, I appreciate the work you've put in

As mentioned we are looking to lay horses that trade lower but don't win.

@keith taking a look at this laying short inrunning lark now. Opened a can of worms. Got some ideas though

It’s profitable if you lay at 3.1. Below that not so much. Has to do with a resistance point at 3.0 I guess

A couple of sensible filters and it looks like a 200 point plus a year strategy. Just need to check a few things. As BT always used to say. It’s good to talk

Fantastic mate I'm glad it's profitable haven't had chance to look myself yet but will do later.

@john-folan all my main lay strats are 3-10/11 so far

I’ve seen that. Mad how there is value that high. Again I wouldn’t have looked without the software

Friday the 13th today

Loads today.

Trobs. Trob any 3.5-9 anywhere near the off.

Slow Horses. DOB any over 5 near the off.

Zero Paced Dobs. Dob any over 10 near the off.

Yes I am dobbing a load in the same race, but the stats don't lie. Obviously I will be crying like an Arsenal Fan if it all goes tits up today! NLIW!!!
