Was outside washing the car and there was a couple of builders next door talking about their weekend and one lad genuinely said "nah I didn't have the Derby winner as I always back the yellow horses"...

So i was chuckling thinking @Martin would love that.

Interesting strategy, I'll have to try it on the software!

Both non runners yesterday.

Trobs: Trob, Dob or Win, anything over 3.0

Slow Horses. Dob anything over 6.0

Zero Paced Dobs. Dob any over 20.00

[John Folan]

Todays. Trobs Only. Do anything over 3.0. You might notice the running totals for each has been increased by 100. That's because I am now running a drawdown calculator and I needed a starting bank so did 100 points for each.

At last. I've managed to dig out a 4 STAR. No, you can't have the rules.

I'll say that it is based on overreactions on fancied horses in-running, and uses the Max Qualifiers Per Race = 1 rule, which is a powerful rule for in-running.

As you know, I like to keep things simple. It uses 1 rule.

Looks superb. Looks like some sort of back to lay strategy I’m guessing. Enjoy all the DM’s you will now get

Nothing again today. Strange but there you go.

[John Folan]

Live testing the last month.

My Trobs 6 points Trob, 7 Points Dob and 17 points win.

Zero Paced Lays 26 Points
Slow Horses Break Even
Short Odds Lays. A whopping 35 points.

These are from the trades I have placed, so my own results. Will probably be a little off while I tweaked bots etc but more than happy with that. Not bothered about a lack of good profit on slow horses as it has months where there are small losses or little profit.

@john-folan that's great to hear as my short odds strategy is all about which horse hits set price impossible to get exact selections early morning

Same with mine. Are you going to set yourself up with a bot at some point?

Laying horses at short odds is ridiculous. Can’t believe how many just don’t perform. The short odds strategy I posted last month has been mental. Martin’s doing well too. I’d be on that if I didn’t have one

Have you made a bot for that in BFBM? I presume you would have to import the horse selections

Has to be a bot. You don’t need to import the selections once you have the parameters set as Bfbot can filter it the same as the software

Todays with the usual paremeters

Trobs

Slow Horses

Got my BSP dob bot with a minimum back price working properly now. Worked a treat on Slow Horses. This is going to take my set and forgets to a whole new level .

Odds on horses are relatively equal over 5 years of data.

Less than 2.0

Less than 1.5

The 1.8 to 2.4 range is a good hunting ground with a few other conditions ;). I’ve done them selecting them myself for years and always done well. Nice to have settled on something that’s a system and can be botted.
