Nothing hit yesterday and there are no selections today. Lovely weather!!

John Folan

Two potentials today. The going at both needs watching. 3.5-9 odds range only

John Folan

No Trobs again the ground is a bit soggy!

@martin-futter It might have been me when I had admin privileges so I could stop people replying and cluttering it up.

didn't know it was locked mate, can you add a link to it? I don't know where it is. Thanks

@john-folan thanks for these, I'm going to get more involved on this thread once the software drops!

That will be good. I think people are realising how hard horses can be to trade. Worth mastering though.

Any news on a likely beta test?

I know @adam-williams has ramped up the development, here is hoping it's in the next month or two as I have seen some of the previews and they look great!

Can’t wait. I reckon football might have a little shut down so all the footy traders need something to play with

good point that, @Ryan-Carruthers we should talk about this next week!

John Folan

Nothing today. Ground is a bit soggy. Scratch yesterday.

One point yesterday. They probably shouldn't have hit as the ground was classed as heavy at both courses after these races. You can only go on the information you have. Happily that won't be a problem today as we will have a race to go on. Currently the going is soft. 3.5-9 and no heavy ground as usual.

John Folan

Nothing hit yesterday. As always 3.5-9 odds range and no heavy ground

John Folan

Two potentials. Doubt either will hit the odds filters of 3.5-9. No Heavy as usual

John Folan

Nothing today. Not really surprised. Feet up and watch the footy

John Folan

One point profit today.

@john-folan how are your bots performing in general

The one for the trobs works apart from the going filter. Its ok if it’s heavy first thing in the morning but if it turns heavy during the morning/afternoon then I’ve had it. So that’s a deffo manual check.

I’ve got two other bots that are profitable although less so since the sports shut down in March. They rely on late money and I didn’t realise how much came from crowds at the courses. They should improve as that improves. But god knows when that will be.

I’ve junked everything else. Too unreliable. Got rid of laypro88 as the swings were giving me heart failure. The temptation on Bfbot to add recovery methods is immense. But every time I’ve tried one they just freak me out so I won’t ever use one of them again.

Still haven’t managed to get a good scalping bot working. Really need to get to grips with that. But I make my wedge by manual scalping so don’t really want to mess that up.

Just checking ad the last two losers the ground had turned heavy so got caught out as bfbot had them as soft and i was too busy to check. As always check the previous result at that course to make sure it isnt heavy. Bots unreliable for that at the moment. 3.5-9 odds range as usual
