Annoying yesterday as Ayr was changed to heavy and BF Bot never picked up on it costing me three points. Always check close to the racing. I was out yesterday so couldn't. 3.5-9 odds range as usual.

@mull Well I had a go using geeks toys. Took 16, got out at 10 but it did reach 6.8 (IP) in the end. Looking forward to testing this more!
great stuff!

@martin-futter How are you trading these Martin? I presume it's only useful if you have the software?

@john-folan interesting strategy! how many ticks do you usually go for with that? and what's the stoploss?
Five to the good and three to the bad. Generally
missed this for some reason thanks!
I do it for all scalping. I used to get myself in a mess using different ones for different scalps

Hi John
what is the strategy for doing the dobs and trobs, how would i place the bets?Have a look on my resources thread and there is an explanation for the trobs and Dobs. I use software to place mine.
Just be aware the back odds need to be between 3.5-9.0 and you swerve any with heavy ground(racing post or Skybet going reports will tell you)

Lost two points yesterday. Two potentials today.
-
@pedro-lerma Thanks for that. I am a fan of LCT.
I actually meant one which matched the initial back as per Johns file on the forum, but then tried to lay it off at the best price it could. Still on today's to do list to try and find it!
-
Two points to the good today. Have been treading water for a bit lately though, but I can live with that. here's tomorrows

....I did see an automation file on BetAngel to attempt to achieve this at some point though I can't find it currently.
-Tom, here is a video, setting up a B2L and L2B betAngel bot.
Right now, betAngel forum is down to find this file to download; but this video covers everything stepByStep. Even better. -

@John-Folan With the Trobs have you ever investigated using automation to match the lay bet in running? I did see an automation file on BetAngel to attempt to achieve this at some point though I can't find it currently. They often seem to drop in running but not always achieve the lay price. I'm wondering if thats another avenue worth investigating?
Also thanks for the strategy and constant posting. I have been silently following along for months now with small stakes/paper trading. It is really good to see the variance we would expect from this sort of strategy. Looking forward to the horse racing software as well to build this out.
I’m using bfbotmanager now. I much prefer it. There’s so much more to it than Bet Angel. I got fed up with BA and switched quite a while ago. I just load them up in the morning and let it get on with them.
Glad you like the posts. I’ve got some other stuff on the go but make the bulk of my money from scalping. If I could automate that I’d be laughing.
I think we are all waiting on the software. It’s taking longer than a US Election
I can't remember if I have asked you this before (if I have, I do apologize), but have you bought the BF Scalper course and if so, what are your thoughts on it? I bought it a few years ago but outside of watching the videos and trying it for a very short period, I never really connected with it and it's one of MANY strategies/systems I have paid for but never use.
I know someone who raves about it. But I couldn’t get on with it. I use the coin flip method. Scalping is so easy once you accept it’s a fifty fifty chance of you getting the direction right. As long as you get out for losses on three ticks and take at least five ticks on the profit ones you will make money.
If you want a golden method tho. Pick a race with an odds on favourite. Get up the trading ladders for the top four runners. If money comes in for any of the second third or fourth then lay the favourite. Then get out when you are happy with the profit.
