@john-folan its a great strategy
-
@john-folan yeah very good day, im only on £1 stakes to test 4 strats but the results so far are really good, at the moment im just getting used to finding time to place trades etc with a 9 to 5 job but im getting there

@john-folan Refresh rate is whatever default is, which I think is 1000ms. That doesn't explain Run For Oscar being a loser though.

@nick-allan I hope you had the short odds fave bot on today
. 5/5 and best thing is a horse that was in range all day drifted out past the 2.40 upper limit in the last couple of minutes and won its race. Brilliant 
Mine hit Run For Oscar in the 6.45 at Haydock @ 2.3 which was a loser. I also only had 3 hits total for the day. I wonder why we have different results? I do have my maximum set to 2.3, not 2.4, maybe that's got something to do with it.
I think it is. Also what is your refresh rate?

@jonathan-jones apologies, sun and beer.. but guess the staking plan can be set anyway you like.. I’ve tried it all ways and it’s profitable..

Hi Peeps.
So, I’ve been working on this strategy for a bit, seems to be doing well.
Still tinkering with it whilst lying on the beach in Corfu, but thought I’d share it.
The basic concept is to lay the last time winners in handicaps. Have added a few other criteria in terms of number of selections, select courses etc.
Results screen at £10 flat liability.
Feel free to critique at your leisure.
Its an interesting approach but its not £10 liabilty, Its £10 stake so max liability on your odds range could be a grand. Biggest loss at 330 so thats not bad for £10 stakes on a lay. You are dodging bullets though (but they do say 'who dares wins'). If you did change your stake type to liability that would still be over 1500 quid with a 4% drawdown with whats essentially a £10 bet. I like the sound of that a lot more.

This is it as it stands now.

Nice to look at my live short odds lays in graph form. I prefer low liability stuff risking no more than 1.5 points. Been running these live since the 26th of April. They have just broken the 40 point barrier for the first time. No doubt they will go back below it now I have posted this but nice to see not too much variation from the mean line.
Love the look of this mate

Flat Pace: 2-25 odds range. Avoid Firm, Heavy and Soft Ground

I did start fiddling with it yesterday, but these are the initial filters. Excludes female horse only races.

Just a bit of Flat Pace again. Waiting for the reversion to the mean on these. Will be spectacular.
