Good Morning All,
I am a very new member of BTC and still working my way round all the info, so apologies if this is in the wrong place
Is there any way on this site that you can build a strategy around wind ops, and more importantly back test it
You would need to have info on the first 5 races that a horse runs after a wind op as it takes different horses different times to gain confidence that running hard is not going to hurt (apparently!)
I have been able to test out the strategy only with the second race after a wind op and the results are encouraging to BSP
Bearing in mind the table below are with no other filters whatsoever so results can easily be improved
If this doesn't already exist can it be added in the future?
Many thanks -
Apologies for the downtime all. Something went a bit haywire (technical term!) when the latest load of race abandonments were announced.
You can now access the software again and the displayed data is currently catching up. Only Wolverhampton and Kempton on today and Lingfield already abandoned tomorrow

@michael-meier I still cant get it to load! Same as Joshua, I cant get past the ''Logging you in''
-
@joshua-varley Okay thanks!
I'll try later then.
-
@michael-meier certainly am - can't get passed the 'logging you in' screen...

Anyone else having trouble signing in to the Horse Racing software atm.?

@john-folan hi John . The favourite in the 13.35 Dundalk seemed to qualify but then I noticed that there was no official rating available, so I assume this was the reason why the bot didn't bet on it. Whats usually the reason for no official rating available. Thanks
Needs to have won a race or placed in top six on at least three separate occasions. Also might not have one if they havenāt run for nine months.

@jonathan-jones ..the 5:25 does not come up on the LTF strategy, only one was Betrayed under C+D but the price was too big so a leave alone.....

Just done some tweaking on the strategy. Seems the software thinks its a 'conditional' so is excluding it. Nothing on the racecard though (unless its on the pro racecard but seems unlikely). Interestingly removing both those filters and dropping the runners min to 3 results in an improvement (think its the runners that improves it but the filters dont appear to break it too much)

s 4-14.
Odds Between 1.8-2.4.
DSLR: 3-200.Is this one of your strategies? TRying to work out the selection criteria vs the racecard. For example today there is no selction for Dundalk at 5:25 but i cant work out why. There is nothing on the RacingPost racecard that would exclude it. Only thing i can see is that 2 of the horses dont have a DSLR.
No idea. It wasnāt on the list earlier so Iāve not got any skin in it. I assume thereās a sensible reason

Morning guys. I need some help if anyone is free. Has anyone used betmover website it's a free site that monitors the racing charts, odds etc.
I'm looking at an early morning swing trade strategy which would be low risk but need a little guidance in understanding some of the lines on there.
Would love to collaborate and look into it with others.

This is more of a maths question than horse racing, but...
BFBM is the only software that allows separate banks for individual strategies. I've been using Fairbot on a % of bank to let it compound. I'm wondering how much of a difference it makes having separate banks vs % of overall?

Forward testing this after lots of messing around with the horse software. I'm still learning a lot about horse racing and getting my head around it, backtesting is seriously slick!
Will share some results if it maintains a positive form. It's essentially a back the fave, v similar selections come through as John's Back the Favourite from the member presets but with some different courses and trading days set up. Think there's a good chance I've just filtered out variance, in which case the forward testing will find that out!
