Classic Trobs: Trob any between 3.5-9 as close to the off as you can. Avoid Heavy Ground.

@john-folan thanks mate, that's really helpful, what I want to look at is I can develop some strategies that wouldn't require sitting at PC or using a bot, as I know there will be a lot of people who will not use one.

@Nick-Allan @John-Folan what I mean is let's say you just wanted to place some horse bets for the day at once, what time would be the best to do that do you think?

You would probably need to do it in two stints. After 12 for the afternoon(maybe 11 in the winter as it starts earlier) then about 4 for the evenings races. I've got all mine botted to place them when needed before a race. Literally just line them up in the morning and let the bot do its work at the appropriate time

@martin i scalp horse races and last 5 mins is when markets really move but not sure that best for prices but for liquidy you can go from 150K to 450K in a min

Do you find that prices near the off tend to revert to where they were about 10 minutes out? Seems to happen a lot I think.

erm difficult to say i do tend to scalp small movements with normally 1 or 2 runners but on the whole those with shorters prices do john yes, dont know about longer priced runners dont tend to scalp anything over 7.5. I persoanlly prefer to get early morning prices on horses 15 and over

I normally only scalp shorter odds favourites so it might just be a trend there. I’ve tried scalping longer priced horses but I invariably f**k it up. Get a great income off of the favourites so I just stay there.

@john-folan and anyone else who sees this, what time would you say in general the horse markets firm up liquidity wise on UK racing in the morning? I'm thinking around 11/12am but wondering what the Horse guys think!

Depends on the meeting and how much you want to get matched really. Probably an hour before the race for my purposes.

Anyone else looking at the course characteristics in the software as a filter? I am thinking that it is probably more reliable than course filters as there is a much bigger dataset

I think this is a good idea in combination with pace and going. "Galloping" tracks suit longer striding horses that like to, well, gallop, without turning sharply. Sharp courses suit the more nimble horses. "Stiff" courses can knacker the horse out due to the rises, especially when the going is soft.

Glad you agree there. It makes a different in a fair few strategies. Nice datasets as well.

Nothing from me today but a little update and a new strategy in the megathread

? Offline

Hi Jon I've just started following your back maiden favs strategy, I've noticed last night and this morning that in the 1.00 and 1.35 at Nottingham two different selections were posted, posted posiedon Prince, yesterday , and tephi this morning and the same in the 1.35 , also there's a 20/1 outsider in the 2.00 at bellewstown, can you tell me how to play these do I go with the last named selections or just back the unnamed fav in the the advised races. Many thanks.
