Hi Wayne
I don't have permission to upload a Fairbot strategy file (.fs) but here's an example of a DOB set up within Fairbot. I've allowed for up to 4 horses to be selected in a race. Minimum price of 5, take BSP and trade out for 1 point profit.
Let me know if any questions
Cheers
Kevin
thanks, i'll see if I can copy it. I have been able to make football ones but never horse racing ones.

Just a trob today, but currently trading outside the 3.5-9 odds range. I'm going to get these going properly on the horse software over the weekend. We would have had a successful trade yet again outside the odds filters. Still made a point. I'll be adding zero paced lays from the first of June. They are 16 points up forward testing. Pleased with those. Slow Horses is about 8 points up this month despite two losers yesterday. Well pleased with the software. Especially the short odds lays(that need a bot. Gone from a 10 point dip at the start of the month to 21 points in front. They are overperforming a bit at the mo.
What bots are you using I have Fairbot. Would I need betfair bot manager??
You could probably recreate in fairbot. I’ve never used it but generally they seem the same. I’ll upload the horse software settings after the weekend so you can see the conditions
awesome thanks

Trobs: Trob if within the 3.5-9 odds range only
Slow Horses: Dob any over 5 just before the off.
-
@keith-driscoll thanks mate I’ll bear that in mind. This is why I'm here to learn from more experienced people
I'll look for a backing system over 50 
-
@keith At prices over 50/1 on Betfair, you are getting great value, which means back bets only. If you lay, you are getting really bad value.

Just Slow Horses again today. Break even on these yesterday

Just a 300-1 winner in Punchestown today!
I have a lay system for horses stepping up in class I'm testing which has 100% strike rate for selections over 100 on BF at certain tracks (not for the feint hearted!)
Luckily the horse above didn't qualify as a selection!
Punchesdown certainly like their big races

@chris-osborne said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

Has anyone tested a strategy regarding how many 100/1 runners win/place in various types of races etc?
Or any other price ranges tbf... Punchestown has had 33s, 50s place and a 25s and 300s winner so far today.

Nothing matched yesterday. A bit of slow horses action today
Also the Zero Paced lays are doing ok live trading as well. I'll start posting those after another couple of weeks monitoring.
-
No match yesterday. Just the one again today. Currently inside the 3.5-9 odds range. Going to have another bash at the short inrunning today. Cinvinced I can get those going
-
Not a lot going on today. Just the one potential Trob. 3.5-9 odds range only.

Quite a good day yesterday. No dobs today. The shortinrunning has a massive list of potentials which can only be handled if you have a bot so I won't post.

Hi John
Are the shortinrunning selections from your own filters or is there a set of BTC software filters? How are they doing?
Thanks
KevinThey are from the btc filters. I’ve got an issue with results not matching but Adams sorting that. I just load them in Bfbotmanager everyday and let it handle placing them if they match the odds filters. They are in 3 points in profit after a slightly iffy start(4points downturn). Just letting them run along on a 1% compounding of stakes.
Same with the short odd lays I mentioned a while back. They’ve gone from a 10 point initial drop to 17 points in profit. They are only able to be done on a bot basis as well.
Slow horses and zero paced dobs are poodling along at break even. Only expect 8-10 points a month from slow horses and 15-20 from the zero paced dobs. These don’t need to be bot based but it makes it easier on races with a few selections.
