Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone has come across this situation. I was doing some in play on a race today using Fairbot and thought I had a small profit as per the screenshot from Fiarbot below as Super Chief won the race.

However when I looked at the Betfair web page I saw the following:

The screenshots were taken within a few seconds of each other.

I have noticed a few issues before with Fairbot where it will freeze for a few seconds and then catch up but didn't notice anything like that during this race. Has anyone else come across similar issues?

I've been watching a number of the video's on Alistair Hamilton's YouTube page and he mentioned on one of them that he was having issues with Fairbot freezing now and again. Like him I'm running Fairbot on Linux via Wine so not sure if it's a Fairbot issue or something to do with the Wine implementation.

Cheers,
Ian

@martin been doing a similar trade last start beaten faves on a freshen up(45+days since raced)

I want to start looking into last start beaten faves dropping in distance that have raced within 30days of last start(maybe 21 days but selections would be very small i think). I think there may be an edge on that strategy. Its a common rule not the back a beaten fave dropping back in distance

@martin it looks alright. But it’s staking it differently and laying to a fixed liability is always a slower burn. I’ll whack it up in the next couple of days.

No match yesterday and no selections today. There will be selections for flat pace and short odds lays if you have the software. Also my newest toy Beaten Favourites Lays which is doing nicely after 6 weeks of testing. I'll post it up soon in the megathread

Colour me intrigued!

Horse Racing back Sunday. Except for Musselburgh which makes sense.

NO RACING ON FRIDAY/SATURDAY

Doncaster will be a 9 race meeting on Sunday.

All feeling flat today, no racing, so time to review my strategy, a few tweaks here and there.

@john-folan but she loved Horse Racing, surely would rather it was watched than cancelled, don’t really see the need to be cancelling all sports at the moment. Will be interested to see what happens with weekend football.

Going to be cancelled apparently.

I know horse racing was her passion as you said. Maybe it's the BHA saying it won't be the same without her. Have to say I'm feeling a bit flat today. Just stuck on a couple of beaten favourite lays at Ballinrobe and giving up for the day.
