I think I know the problem. You will never know the runner numbers nor the DSLR of the eventual favourite until near the off. I run my strategy with those taken out under a different version called qualifiers then let my bot sort those out.

How come the DSLR isn't known until near the off? I have that filter on some of mine...

If you are picking the favourite, the favourite can change before the off so it’s a variable. If you are doing a specific horse regardless of its favourite position then it doesn’t matter.

So runner numbers I never run on my qualifier versions, I just let the bot handle that. The 12:40 for example was 15 runners making it a non qualifying race. There was a non runner this morning making it 14 runners and it entered the equation. Happily that one traded and won. (Only one today bar a late steam in one of the later race).

DSLR I filter in the software except if I’m laying (or backing) the favourite as the favourite can change before the off. So the current favourite might fit the criteria but if that horse was a non runner or drifted then the new favourite may not.

Hope that makes sense.

@adam ah I dunno.

@John-Folan are these picks you're getting any different to the 2.0 file in the megathread?

@daniel-mills The obvious questions is are you absolutely sure you're using the same strategy settings?

[A Former User]

@john-folan must not be me, that's the second day in a row that i've not had the same list of selections for your short odds lay's file from the v2.0 file from the megathread.

@Martin / @Adam - Hi guys, something I'm doing wrong here?

had 12:40 Ffos Las, 15:10, 15:40 Ffos Las missing today in my daily qualifiers, the 15:40 is still missing when I just refreshed and logged back in. Had some picks missing yesterday also.

cheers

@john-folan I did it around the time you posted yours, but I think it was still logged in from the previous evening / needed a refresh. Chalk it down to user error lol.

Didn’t miss anything anyway

@daniel-mills no they both came up. What time did you look?

[A Former User]

@john-folan Those first two races at Hereford didn't come up in my daily qualifiers list on the preset version linked in the strategy megathread - are those manual ones you've added in?

Tiny loss. Not a disaster.

Only two days of racing left this side of Christmas. Boxing Day looks a bit busy. That will be fun.

Looks good. I'll have a look in the software too but the Max Drawdown is encouraging

@john-folan What were your 5 John, my bot only did 4 (12:50, 17:30, 18:30 and 20:00)?

The same but a 14:20 as well. That one was at 1.86 which managed to win its race so you did well to dodge it.

Aaah, yes, missed because I changed my DSLR to minimum 5..
