@Keith @John-Folan

Yesterday I used the naps table any that were tipped in ATR or decent write up on Timeform were removed, only one left lay price 4.7 and it came 7th.

Very interesting @ryan are you going to make this a “thing”?

[Ryan]

@john-folan Not a bad start!

PS I believe in pace as well, so close yesterday.

No joy on the pace.
2nd and 3rd by a short head in the 15:00 at 21 and 19 odds

So close. Holly has suggested looking at these Each Way. Might be an option. I’m sticking as I am now as I’m happy

@john-folan I like it mate!
Yes I was thinking either Racing post or Timeform?

[John Folan]

@keith God knows. Racing post I guess? @Adam ??

Anyway, here's a bit of refining. Mostly Race stuff. No horse metrics yet. Laying between 2-11 10 seconds out

@ryan So this is laying every single Forecast Favourite. Needs some refining but not the worst starting point!

So this is forecast not actual? What is the source for the forecast favs do we know?

@john-folan Got to be, there was always gold in that naps table - variance killed most people using it.

@ryan said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

I am wondering if theres something we can do with the pace and the Racing Post Naps table.

It used to be total gold, any -25 were worth a lay, this back in the day was one of the criteria for my lays.

I bet there is.

@john-folan Very close, I am on these. Maybe its me, maybe I am the curse after that great month last month!

Nope they do this. No such thing as a jinx!

Flat Pace had another close second yesterday. Keeps knocking!

Another quiet day

Flat Pace. Back to Win if between 2.0-25.0. 4-14 Runners only. Avoid Soft, Heavy and Firm Going

Please use the support button for any feature requests guys. Those submitted in that way will always be prioritised and I guarantee the good ideas in the last few posts here will be forgotten while I work on those other things

@jonathan-jones said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

Sorry, got another one.
In the filter 'Classifications' is a simple select and not a multi-select. Any reason why its like this? seems like the sort of thing a multi-select is more suited for.

The reason is that the race classifications all appear in one big string, which we then have to parse and do a load of partial text matching. It results in a ton of false positives to do "any of this list in any of that list".

The upside about the way it's done now is that you can group them and apply different operators, e.g. "look for novice chases, but not grade 1 ones".

Just a suggestion but for the bet placement and stake, on the lay side is there any way we could have a 'stake as liability' option? Its pretty much standard on all the trading tools i have seen so makes sense to add it.

@Keith Well there you go, who knew you had to press enter, I was just typing the new name and mouse clicking...

yeah this is actually a good point @Adam any way to enable a click away from the text to work how it usually would on other things?

Glad you got it sorted mate. I think I originally had a few attempts myself in the beginning so don't feel too bad on yourself

All done this.
