@john-folan According to all the backtests we are at the start of the season of plenty. 'Should' have 4 months or so of optimal performance ('should').

Should being the word

@andy-lucy might be using a more updated version of the strategy?

Hey guys I have been using the software to get selections of the 3 strategies I follow and today noticed that there is odd one different to the email does anyone know why this happening? Thanks andy !

A non runner has probably changed a race so a horse that didn’t fit before did. Or vice versa. Selections can and do change all day.

Wow, good month. Running my variations of:
Back C&D winner
Flat Pace backs
Lay Beaten Fav
Low Lays
and my own Laying not won C or D between 3 and 7

its given a profit of 122 points at flat stakes for the month. Only one strategy (Back C&D winner on Turf) was an overal negative, and that was only minus 1.3 points.

Unfortunately since i was dicking around at the start of the mointh i never captured all of that but i have doubled my account this month so i would be a bit of an arse to complain.

Yep last month was mental overall profit wise. Very happy.

@andy-lucy it's not my loss but I'll pass on your condolences to the concerned party.

Andy Lucy

@martin received the email. Feel bad now as emails are last thing you needed to worry about. So sorry for your loss.

Put it like this, if it was that much of a problem Flutters share price would have plummeted today. It barely moved and finished up on the day.

Excellent way of looking at it.

@john-folan amazing if so- what makes you think that though?

It’s aimed at younger gamblers and slots. It’s an utter whitewash. Won’t make a jot of difference. That affordability check for losing large sums will be pointless too

Nope it’s a load of shite and won’t really affect us.

@John-Folan Ever thought about a career in politics?

I’d end up getting cancelled within two hours with all the straight talking I’d do

@dan-mackinnon to be honest, I haven’t read the whole paper yet. However, all the information I’ve been seeing on twitter today suggests they are going to start to do soft affordability checks on accounts with daily losses of over £125 and more stringent ones for daily losses of over £1000 and £2k over 90 days.

I have no idea if exchanges are going to be lumped in, however if so, it would obviously be an enormous (possibly fatal?) thorn in the side of what we do here… we certainly have many down swings on the way to profitability…. Fingers crossed

Dan MacKinnon

@joshua-varley isn't the white paper meant to be more about protecting people who deposit a load of money and then lose it?

I can't see how it impacts what we do. If anything there should be more restrictions to prevent people from getting into too much gambling debt (e.g. no deposits from credit cards).
