@john-folan
The strategy, which as you say seems to be a thing, came from Hubby who watches racing a lot. He made the throw away comment that horses seem to do a lot better in the 2nd race not the first. So I tested it on a free trial database I was using and it seems to be true
I think it will work best on non faves, and longer races, and national hunt. It will probably have high variance. But its all about finding unusual angles to gain the edge -

@caroline I doubt it will exist, this definitely wins obscure stat request award!
What do I win if I tell you that we do actually capture that data and can add it as a strategy rule?
You never cease to amaze!

@Adam is this possible to add?
This was a big thing on proform. I’d did seem to give a horse some extra oomph

Good Morning All,
I am a very new member of BTC and still working my way round all the info, so apologies if this is in the wrong place
Is there any way on this site that you can build a strategy around wind ops, and more importantly back test it
You would need to have info on the first 5 races that a horse runs after a wind op as it takes different horses different times to gain confidence that running hard is not going to hurt (apparently!)
I have been able to test out the strategy only with the second race after a wind op and the results are encouraging to BSP
Bearing in mind the table below are with no other filters whatsoever so results can easily be improved
If this doesn't already exist can it be added in the future?
Many thanks -
Apologies for the downtime all. Something went a bit haywire (technical term!) when the latest load of race abandonments were announced.
You can now access the software again and the displayed data is currently catching up. Only Wolverhampton and Kempton on today and Lingfield already abandoned tomorrow

@michael-meier I still cant get it to load! Same as Joshua, I cant get past the ''Logging you in''
-
@joshua-varley Okay thanks!

@john-folan hi John . The favourite in the 13.35 Dundalk seemed to qualify but then I noticed that there was no official rating available, so I assume this was the reason why the bot didn't bet on it. Whats usually the reason for no official rating available. Thanks
Needs to have won a race or placed in top six on at least three separate occasions. Also might not have one if they haven’t run for nine months.

@jonathan-jones ..the 5:25 does not come up on the LTF strategy, only one was Betrayed under C+D but the price was too big so a leave alone.....

Just done some tweaking on the strategy. Seems the software thinks its a 'conditional' so is excluding it. Nothing on the racecard though (unless its on the pro racecard but seems unlikely). Interestingly removing both those filters and dropping the runners min to 3 results in an improvement (think its the runners that improves it but the filters dont appear to break it too much)

s 4-14.
Odds Between 1.8-2.4.
DSLR: 3-200.Is this one of your strategies? TRying to work out the selection criteria vs the racecard. For example today there is no selction for Dundalk at 5:25 but i cant work out why. There is nothing on the RacingPost racecard that would exclude it. Only thing i can see is that 2 of the horses dont have a DSLR.
No idea. It wasn’t on the list earlier so I’ve not got any skin in it. I assume there’s a sensible reason

Morning guys. I need some help if anyone is free. Has anyone used betmover website it's a free site that monitors the racing charts, odds etc.
I'm looking at an early morning swing trade strategy which would be low risk but need a little guidance in understanding some of the lines on there.
Would love to collaborate and look into it with others.
