@john-folan I'm looking into it as I've seen one of the last youtube videos of Ryan and he was talking about the same subject. But since I don't know how to use the software nor have experience in horse trading I'll wait for somebody that can help me too.

This is the rule to find horses that dob. You can change the % and the number of runs to whatever you want.

Dan MacKinnon

@razvan-alexandru I think there’s already a DOB preset strategy. If not, you can adjust the close trade to be set to ticks or points. If you change it to 1 point I think that’s a DOB

@Adam might have plans to add a Dob button, not sure though

@Razvan-Alexandru wants to know what to put in to find horses that dob 70%?

John Folan

Exploring dobbing in the software at the moment.

70% career dob rate, 100% last 3 races dob rate, class 4 and 5 only is profitable.

Higher class rating waste of time and lower class is terrible.

Something is really nagging at me to get something going but I can’t put my finger on it. I shall persevere.

Then Compounding at 1% of a 100 point bank. This between the two would give you over 5k in 18 months. Trading bank built. Feel free to download and mess with it. DSLR filters, probably not a bad place to start. I haven't looked. Not bad work for a Sunday morning and two cups of coffee...

I had a question John about this back to favourites on Saturdays Mondays and Tuesdays. So I've applied the filter and it comes up with selections so am I backing those selections if they are the favourite in that race? Or am I back in the favourite in the race? So for example the selection is tinker tailor in the 12:50 in Newcastle, and 10 minutes before the race starts it's overtaken by hello Dolly which then becomes the favourite…………………now my bot would then not execute the trade as tinker tailor is no longer the favourite. Is that correct?
Or have you set the filter in relation to the whoever is the fav in 12:50 at Newcastle and therefore it would just trade the fav in that race no matter what selection (in the above example hello dolly)? The reason I ask is in your short odds lay there is a number of selections highlighted daily but obviously some of those selections aren't going to reach the strategy criteria, so in that strategy trade the race not the selection if you see what I mean?

No. Just the favourites whoever it may be near the race. This can be a filter under selection conditions in Bfbotmanager

Still a lot of horses having their first run of the season.
