@John-Folan the graph on that is unreal in the software! Great work

[Tony Hastie]

@John-Folan A scratch day for my DOBs today. My big win was discipline. I spent the morning narrowing down the L2Bs to 10 possibles...and only traded 10 races, rather than trying to do all of them

[John Folan]

Utterly ridiculous.

[John Folan]

7 points to the good today. I think it’s time I dusted this photo off. It’s been a while but I think it’s deserved.

@John-Folan out of interest, how many L2Bs would you normally get on in a day....if you had nothing else happening in life. I think Im trying to do to many and am making silly mistakes(yeah, following the wrong horse again!)

Varies to be honest but usually 5/6

[John Folan]

3/6 dobs and 2/3 trobs for 3 points profit

[John Folan]

1/2 dobs and 1/1 trobs. Two points to the good

[John Folan]

Six months live results. Slow start through the winter months(although profitable). Just shy of sixty points combined from the two exit points. Hopefully kick on up to September.

@John-Folan Ive just radically changed my approach to DOBs, TROBs etc deciding that a horse has to have a fair chance of winning the race after having a bad spell last month and sorting through 800 results for an answer. My answer was, a huge chunk of my profit(on the 4 point system I described earlier) was from odds in the range of 2.4-8.

Ive not tightened the odds range that much(opting for 2.4-20) but I have started discounting horses that dont have a positive write up on BFEX! From saturday, Ive had 11 selections and picked 7 winners! My favourite being when my (normally very reliable) bot didnt chuck in the lays. Ill be retired by the end of the year if I can keep that strike rate up

That's a point. Wonder if @Adam Adam can include Timeform ratings in the software. OOoohh.

@Tony-Hastie These are revised files I got from the software. I took a load of filters out and looked at the odds ranges. Turns out you can dob from a wider range than you can trob.

DR Trobs.json

DR Dobs.json

You are one of a kind @John-Folan thanks for sharing!

@John-Folan could you add these to the OP? Cheers
Will do matey. Been meaning to update it

@John-Folan how long do you tend to give forward testing before going live stakes? I'm currently using 3+ months

Same. I’m only going more because of March.

Another 3 points on the dobs/trobs today

These all seem to be doing very well good work mate

[Tony Hastie]

@John-Folan Ive got a H pace one too

[John Folan]

Another ridiculous 6 point day on the dobs and trobs. I’m hoping these will only get better as we move further away from Covid and the form becomes even more reliable. We will see.

The new Dreammaker Bot provided 3 points today. Again same premise. I’ve gone a different route to Tony as I use the H pace letter in the last 2 races. Everything else is similar and there’s probably nothing in it. A slow horse is a slow horse. I’ll shove the bot and software file up once I’m happy as I know these work.

Now it’s just a matter of compounding
