@john-folan Im sorry if this is a really stupid question but what is DSLR and how do you find it. Got a day off today so looking at trying some horses after a few weeks finding my feet.

Been looking through all your resources, loads of invaluable stuff there which has been a real help so thanks

Days Since Last Run.

Easiest place to find it is on the Racecards Adam has designed. Wealth of information on there

No worries. I will be doing a lot more when I get some time.

@dan-mackinnon I use it for BFBM

Have you had any issues with Betfair location restrictions? I’ve got a VPN but the type I have runs so slow I can’t seem to connect to anything

Martin's Back the Favourite 3.0

Very interesting Philip, looks very solid, I've done a deep dive and there's no real day of the week that's poor, the drawdowns are acceptable, if you look at the last six months in particular results have been very strong. Can I ask are you currently testing this strategy? and what kind of results are you getting? are they similar to the results that you're getting with the software? I take it the premise behind the strategy is exactly the same as the first Martin backed the favourite, so on your daily selection that you will be given races to trade and all you do is put a back bet on the favourite just before race start?

can i also ask why its not showing any indiviudal trades on the software results?

You need to go into tailor your results and pick the columns you want/need. They will show then if you run the strategy again. Then save the version and you will always have individual results with those columns for that strategy

as always you are the oracle of all things software, cheers john

@john-folan Interestingly, I just had a quick look by amending your filter to include the 2nd Fav and take out. the 2.4 odds restriction and then looked at the difference in the odds between the 2nd favourite and favourite, didn't seem to make a lot of difference, which is a surprise to me.

Interesting. Be good when we can do this properly in the software. I know Adams looking at adding it.

I can’t remember who said it on here, but does anyone use Time4vps?

@john-folan Do you, have you, thought about the price differential between the fav and 2nd fav when looking at the short odd lays?

Yes. Not something you can do on the software yet. But it’s coming.
