@Richard-Latimer agreed .. had something very special in terms of his man management

@Nick-Segura appreciate the message ..still learning plenty myself but limiting losses is huge for me... I've said elsewhere there is a brilliant book by a Stock Market trader Tom Hougaard called Best Loser Wins.. its about mentality and discipline but amongst the many good messages his clarity about 90% of traders in the markets being loss making largely because even though they have a good strike rate (of 70% plus) their losing trades are so much bigger than their winning trades that they end up in loss.. so focusing on reducing the impact of the (inevitable) losing trades and maximising the winning trades is just as important as a decent strategy .

@Mark-Maguire Hey, I read a few of your posts, we trade more or less the same markets. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing about your approach to trading in such detail, I picked up a few really interesting things around reducing liability and stop loss. Obvious things that I have ignored in the past. I went through my O1.5 spreadsheets for some backtesting and found out that implementing a stop loss when there's been no goals by HT would have made me a considerable amount of money. Fairly obvious but for some reasons I kept focusing on the wrong things. So, again, thanks for sharing in such detail.

Just this lay under 1.5 for me tomorrow:

Will take up to price of 7.4. If it's over that I'll more than likely lay under 2.5 (max price 3.5 - leave unmatched to go inplay if 3.5 not available).

Ends 1-2 so another win.

Only one tomorrow for me. Lay under 1.5:

1-1 so green day

Mr. Emmet Moorehouse

Hello all,

In a post a few days ago, I wrote about a SHG filter I have been working on, and I said at the time that I would post some details.

Here is the SHG filter that I have been working on- so far we are at a strike rate of about 83% over 200+ games.

I still regard this as a work in progress but I do get the feeling that it is close to where it needs to be.

Please note that is is not a set and forget filter- the aim is to get in based on the in play stats and the odds.

It is best if I present the filters without getting into my thought process, as this will allow people to take their own view:

The above has had a strike rate of about 83% over the last 200 games.

When filtering the data, I found a way to increase the strike rate.

The updated filter is as follows:

The change in the first criteria increases the strike rate to 86%, but over a reduced sample of about 100 games.

It should be noted that during the testing period, we have had an international break, so going forward it will obviously be producing far more selections.

Coming back from the international break, this weekend's trading may be a bit tricky. But that aside, the next month or two will be important for this filter.

19:45 - Larne v Glentoran. Larne to win at 2.15 (now around 2.02)

Both full-time teams. Larne are in great form. Glentoran, not so much. Glens have a fair amount of injuries and the supporters are unhappy with the manager and board. It's a toxic atmosphere here in East Belfast.

Larne are a great price.

2-1 Larne. Easy enough to be honest. 2.15 was too high a price for Larne.

Cracking night all round lads well done!
