@john-folan Do you, have you, thought about the price differential between the fav and 2nd fav when looking at the short odd lays?

Yes. Not something you can do on the software yet. But it’s coming.

@Adam sterling work as usual thank you

Adam

OK peeps, the software is now back. Apologies for the unexpected downtime.

We had an issue with the saved strategies section and had to restore some data from a backup.

There are 9 orphan strategies which were created today that we need to manually link to the right people. Just to be clear, no data is lost

If you created a strategy this morning and it's now missing from the software, give me a shout in a PM and tell me what it was called, or what notes you entered on it, or anything really that will help me identify which one it is, and I'll manually assign it back to you.

Thanks. For a minute I thought I had somehow logged on to someone else's profile!

Glad I read this

When I first saw it I did think:

Did I get drunk and do this and I just don't remember?
Now would be a great time to split all my strategies into race types and do a deep dive into pattern formations

@john-folan I did the 18.50 and the 19.50 Wolverhampton. Did you only do one of them? .

For some reason my bot didn't fire on the 19:50. Nothing in the conditions, so can only assume the price was trading below 1.8 before the off. I know it was at one point.

Lingfield and Musselburgh are now showing as profitable. Again, if this continues, I will be looking to add them in at a later date. Musselburgh needs more trades and Lingfield is only showing a 2.73% return

-1 point today

1/1. Doubt the last one will get anywhere near matching. A nice positive start since I’ve been posting these.

@john-folan said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

Slim pickings today!! As a side note, I do keep the course filters under review as I think long term they won't be needed. I would rather be adding stuff in though than taking it away so better to err on the side of caution. Fairyhouse for example, has moved into profitable territory. As long as that continues, I will eventually add it in.

Martin's Back the Favourite 3.0

Very interesting Philip, looks very solid, I've done a deep dive and there's no real day of the week that's poor, the drawdowns are acceptable, if you look at the last six months in particular results have been very strong. Can I ask are you currently testing this strategy? and what kind of results are you getting? are they similar to the results that you're getting with the software? I take it the premise behind the strategy is exactly the same as the first Martin backed the favourite, so on your daily selection that you will be given races to trade and all you do is put a back bet on the favourite just before race start?

can i also ask why its not showing any indiviudal trades on the software results?

You need to go into tailor your results and pick the columns you want/need. They will show then if you run the strategy again. Then save the version and you will always have individual results with those columns for that strategy
