@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.

OK peeps, the software is now back. Apologies for the unexpected downtime.
We had an issue with the saved strategies section and had to restore some data from a backup.
There are 9 orphan strategies which were created today that we need to manually link to the right people. Just to be clear, no data is lost
If you created a strategy this morning and it's now missing from the software, give me a shout in a PM and tell me what it was called, or what notes you entered on it, or anything really that will help me identify which one it is, and I'll manually assign it back to you.

It affects everything, since the software is not currently displayed on the site

Thanks. For a minute I thought I had somehow logged on to someone else's profile!
Glad I read this
When I first saw it I did think:
- Did I get drunk and do this and I just don't remember?
- Now would be a great time to split all my strategies into race types and do a deep dive into pattern formations
