Tomorrows. 3.5-9 odds range and no heavy ground. Thankfully bfbot checks these and filters them out

Two points lost so pretty static at the mo.

One point today. Here's tomorrow's. Not around in the morning and for once the next days races were up early

@john-folan Thanks John, and thank you for the Bet Angel file which i've played with. I've taken off the fill or kill option which i think leaves the offset lay bet in the market throughout the race. Looking forward to getting started with this as of today!

Tipperary abandoned

Selections at last. 3.5-9 odds range. Trob or win. Pick your poison

Any today @John-Folan ?

@shaun-harrison no is the simple answer. I’m on decent stake with these and never have a problem getting matched inrunning. I know I will do at some point but I’m not far off where I will max these out so hopefully it just won’t be an issue. If it does I will just bump the win stake and reduce the trob.

The right odds range means these always stand a chance of winning and as you say there will always be a good degree of liquidity because of that.

@john-folan Hi John, sorry am somewhat new to in-play horse trading so a quick question if i may! I assume one of the reasons for pursuing the relatively tight odds range within your TROBS strategy is to ensure there that the 33% offset lay bet is placed at an odds level where there is reasonable liquidity. That suggests to me there is probably a stake threshold at which it starts to become problematic for the offset lay bet to get fully matched. In your experience do you have a sense of where this threshold might be? Don't worry i'm not planning to hit the markets with four figures all of a sudden, but just curious as to the scaling potential of this strategy.

No selections again today. Poor racing indeed.

No joy. Point lost.

Today's. As usual the 3.5-9 odds apply.

First one trades and converts. Nothing else looks like it will be in range for the rest of the day.

... which means tomorrow will start at 100 points plus.

I’m pretty chuffed with that. I reckon trobs would be about 120-130 points if not for Covid as we lost virtually 3 months racing and the win probably 150 plus. Not bad at all.

When did you start this (i.e., when is the first recorded race in your sheet)?

August 2019. I’ll stick the full sheet up tomorrow
