-
Off out for a nice long walk now maybe back later afternoon for the last of the French races, see nothing in the States this evening so may plan my trades this evening for tomorrow have a good afternoon all

Morning all. I see sky sports racing is having live racing today from Longhamps and Angers in France today which are both available to trade on Betfair. Not sure of the later but the former looks like it is of a decent standard not huge amounts traded but decent enough the last race just had over 160k matched
Any idea where front runners can be found for these?
Sorry I don't mate, I think it was Keith or Daniel recommended a site a couple of weeks ago for the Usa races which is https://www.betamerica.com
This I think is helpful for Usa races where you can find info for French I am not sure mate -

@richard-latimer Strangely my bot kicked in with Fav SP @ 3.8... Again within that second it must have had a slow start and went over 3.9 as my minimum is greater than 3.9

4 matched in the 21:00 @ Tampa
Wow, did that fit all the criteria? I'm taking a backseat for now but still watching everything with keen interest.
How is your sheet looking now? Whenever I load it up I only seem to get races until 02/05.

2 matched in the 21:30 @ Tampa

4 matched in the 21:00 @ Tampa

Just got back from walking the dogs and my bot got 2 matched in each of the following;
19:00 Tampa
19:45 Will Rogers Down
20:00 Tampa-0.04pts each race (all but scratch)
-
@james-everard Two matched again at the same prices. Next one that meets the criteria not until 22.15pm at Will Rogers Downs
-
Just switched the lap top on and got in time on to ltf in the Will Rogers Downs at 19.45pm, done at two prices 1.97 and 1.72 for two horses so a small profit. The 20.00pm at Tampa Bay Downs looks ok to trade as well
-
Got matched on 2.5 stakes on the 18:00 in Tampa for just over 0.5pts green
Just off out to take the dogs for a walk will leave the bot running and catch up with you all later

@Charles-Cartwright Not me mate, I'm chomping at the bit for UK and Irish racing to come back as the previous few months I had been practicing scalping on the pre-race markets with small stakes and had just increased them before racing stopped.
Had been tempted to jump over to trade the beautiful game but I'm taking the advice of sticking to one sport to begin with.
-
@charles-cartwright Yes mate am collecting my own data for reference to see what has possibilities within the strat, catch up soon
-
@dan-erridge I noticed that as well a fair bit behind , at least the odds move quickly in play to be able to trade b2l or l2b and the ltf strategies. With the French racing no movement impossible to trade inplay.
-
The betfair delay in America has been terrible the last few nights
-
Anyone interested in the French racing , although live coverage doesn't seem possible on Betfair , I have noticed Sky sports racing on 415 has coverage of the Chatilly and also the Usa this evening ( this is on Betfair whether or not Sky will not have as longer time delay?) Thought I would let anyone, I personally don't think the French racing at the moment is something I want to trade the odds move so slowly not for me.

@charles-cartwright I will still be here Charles
you wont get rid of me that easily... Am looking to add to my football portfolio and have been trying to pick your experienced mind along the way.I also fully appreciate your stats you put up the other day, I guess only time will tell if our filtered selections will make a difference to them.
Catch you later.
Still working on how to apply those when racing comes back in the UK. It is quite a painstaking process and I still have to earn a crust but hopefully will be able to post an update soon.
Bottom line is that while I believe that course and distance will be a factor in the success of LTF strategies, I think trying to add too many filters (eg runners, prices, etc) will just overfit the data and will not be sustainable in the long run.
