@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..

Bit more like it. 3-2 in our favour and the losers were both at the very short end of the scale so about a point and a quarter profit.

Been a bit meh the last week or so. Hopefully normal business is resumed until Christmas.
I shall be laying the favourites in these races 10 seconds before the start time subject to the following conditions:

Number of Runners 4-14.
Odds Between 1.8-2.4.
DSLR: 3-200.

Nice to see some races back. Better they have always erred on the side of caution and put the horses welfare first.

Hi @john-folan I’m new on here and I’m just having a look at lots of the different strategies. When I have your strategy active, my upcoming qualifiers list shows every horse in every race that meets with your rules. Is this because the software doesn’t know which one will be favourite at the off? Is there a way to just show the selected race or is it just a matter of scrolling through and picking out each race manually? My results are showing quite a few selections today even though I have noticed that you suggest below no selections today
Many thanks

I don't do these on a Saturday mate

[John Folan]

Thurles and Wolves both on today. Hopefully this weather f**ks off and does one after this afternoon. That’s the forecast.

[Rick Watson]

@ricky-simpson working fine for me too mate

Is anyone else having problems with the software? I can see upcoming qualifiers but can’t see or go through any of the cards. I’ve tried refreshing/resetting but I can’t get to any race cards.

Fingers crossed we might actually get some racing tomorrow.

fine for me

@andy-harris Just make a note of the individual races and enter the market as close as you can to the start as long as it qualifies.

All racing off today even all weather

No short odds lays for me today. Got bloody nothing at all really. Now I know how the football traders feel during summer and the World Cup lol

[Dan MacKinnon]

@andy-lucy everyone is different. I personally use Fairbot but that could be because it’s the first one I used.

Each of them do a free trial so you could use them all. Put them in simulation mode and just mess about

@dan-mackinnon
Thanks Dan. Is there any one u guys recommend over others?

[Nick Allan]

@chris-osborne yeah i agree with dan its more getting to the venue thats the issue, its like school closures.............in a lot of situations the school is fine its getting there thats perilous

and we have more snow this weekend

[Dan MacKinnon]

@chris-osborne I imagine it's more the issue of getting there. I remember going to Everton away and it got cancelled due to bad weather an hour before KO because of the safety of fans going to the ground. I was at Crewe when we had to turn around. I got on a coach at Selhurst Park and 12 hours later, finally got off the coach...at Selhurst Park
