QQ for anybody out there, does anybody trade the place markets at all? I have had a reasonable amount of backed horses place and was wondering if it profitable or not?
You can check it if you download the individual results and fiddle with it. It has the place prices and whether they did or didnt
-
@kc no reason it wouldn't be with a good strategy

@john-folan Perfect, thank you for letting me know!
-
@laura-holloway Adam has fixed it now
-
@frank-jones Yeah I have also raised a ticket, wasn't sure if was just my software that was down. I noticed it yesterday evening also, a lot of the races were missing from the software

@john-folan Is that because the races aren't appearing on the software for today? I'm only getting Ffos Las and Catterick, and only 4 races showing in total - 1 Catterick & 3 Ffos Las!
More than likely. I've Asana'd @Adam . @Martin Is there anyone else we can bother with this??
I raised a ticket too. (I think - not the clearest of processes!)

@frank-jones might well be. Bit weird if I’m honest. Although no trobs either which I get from elsewhere.

Absolutely nothing today!

@ian-parry We get it from Racing Post as well but we do update it if it changes.
Having said that, I thought the going was now available via the BF API but I might be thinking of runner metadata, not race-level stuff.
-
@jonathan-jones updating the filter wouldn’t work as it would still depend on the time of day you looked at it. I’ve mentioned to Adam on Asana about taking going out of the qualifiers criteria as I think people are just going to have to check the going near race time as I do.
-
I can't find the previous discussion on here about the going now but yes, we use the official going which can change.
The going value you see is the final going value at the time of the race. If the going changes throughout the life of the market then you might have horses that didn't qualify earlier in the day but did by the time the race went off.
We are planning to store the whole going history instead just one static value. Same goes for any value that has the potential to change during the life of the market. Maybe what we could then do is send you an alert if your strategy uses the going and the going has changed since the last time your qualifiers were run.
The reason for logging these things in the support form is so that we can identify these needs, not lose track of them and figure out solutions for them. I have added the above to our roadmap.
