@neal-simmonds well I noticed there are multiple horses per race so wasn’t sure. Also if you just picked the favourite would that not sometimes break the DSLR rule? I’m trying to use bet angel to automate this but that was the last sticking point I cannot work out.

you can display additional information on the bet angel oneclick screen including dslr, so would suspect you could used that as a stored value to measure against - (dont askme how)

@david-blake So I'm currently trying out Fairbot, & I'm having to manually limit a race on certain conditions that the software wont let me create a rule about.

However, John does always point out that the selections must meet with the conditions, if the conditions aren't met then it's a no bet!

@david-blake
Don't quote me David but I think it shows a named horse when that horse is the current favourite I.E. Its the Favourite right now but it might not be the favourite by the time the race goes off?

@john-folan
hello John , very new here. Sorry to ask but the lay strategy you post everyday, is that the same strategy as the lay at short odds listed in the strategies page?
I’m just trying to understand how you choose your selections because on the software the it show’s specific horses to lay? Sorry for the noobie question.

John Folan

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.

Full strategy available here in the pinned post.

I've heard people talk about Dutching quite a bit lately so thought I'd mess about with the software to see if I could come up with something. As far as I understand you can't back test this strategy because the software doesn't allow you to pro-rata your stake/ liability over multiple selections. Is that correct, or has anyone else given it a try?

We've noticed some performance issues when the "ticks" option in the exit settings is used in the horse racing software.

We're working on a fix now. For now, if you're able to use any of the other exit types, you should find your strategies run much quicker

Hello, guys!

Does exist statistics about the percentage of the fav win a race?
I mean in which percentage a fav win a race? per each country, race type etc?

Is it a good strategy just to Lay the fav with a recovery strategy on BFbotmanager?
