@Andy-Donnelly what we’re the odds on your selection?

Andy Donnelly

Question, random one but is it possible to make a loss on a winner in a dead heat scenario?

Just having a dispute with Betfair. Had a winner in a 3-way dead heat and they are saying that I’ve lost money from the trade

John Folan

Liking the look of Corach Rambler for tomorrow. Jockey is a previous winner too. C and D Winner for the horse.

Will be backing Each Way
Corach Rambler
Mahler Mission
Latenightpass.

@Barry-Dewar personal choice really, you could test it and see what works for you!

Thanks @Martin, yes I watched it, very clear.

I'm just wondering if it's worth backing 2 horses in the same race? I guess any number of the horses could hit short odds in play.

If my methods throw up more than one in a race I normally do them all if they hit my odds range.

@Barry-Dewar have you watched the video in the email? well worth a watch I actually demonstrate a dob in it and say what to look for:

16.25 Jungle Charm 2.68
has to be a nice value lay book price is 3.50
Luke morris gone 50 rides without a winner
lay to liability

Barry Dewar

OK, first full day here. Just looking at the Highlights email and planning today's racing.

I haven't tried dobbing before, I can see that for some races there are multiple horses who look like good dobbing candidates. Is it best to stick to one, or do more than one horse often hit the lay price?

Anyone else lay 'Old C**k' today? At least I got paid for it!

I’ve heard Ryan likes laying Old C**k. At least that’s what Keith told me

Martin

@andrew-page it was a lay 3rd fav for me, -3pts so far today on that strategy but at least that one won

Profit is profit i suppose was tanking along until evening

These are todays Selections

Project working on initially laying all under 10.0
any over 10.0 laying if hit 10.o in running

win part is down 33 points may be bad side of variance straight off the bat will record see if recovers
stopped laying anything in running if BSP over 10.0

However swapped to laying place
its running in profit 6 weeks in long may it continue

breakdown
all with bsp under 10.0 laying place to liability is better than set stake

all those with BSP OVER 10
disregarding all over 8.0 the place
running break even at the moment

andrew page

Playing about with cold jockeys at the moment
one thing i do know lay luke morris at kempton !!!!

@Andy-Donnelly

Cant really say im just looking for false favs so ones at top of their ratings needing to improve to win

Andy Donnelly

@andrew-page Thanks Andrew. Yeh so far in the first week or so, my “lay the top rated horse” strategy has done well.

Does it work the same way later in the year? For the transition into the start of the official jump season? My strategy numbers are not quite as clear cut for then historically.

@Andy-Donnelly

Its Logical horses on All weather dont always transfer form to Turf
while some may be rated 81 on All weather it could be a lowly 60 mark on turf
plenty of newcomer races for the upsets favs get turned over regular for 6 weeks until end april then form starts to settle down with ground being more consistant
