First race went well. Second race was done near the end. Close run thing. One to go

@martin
You need to compare the lowest inrunning price to BSP as I have done here. Then underneath you want a percentage of times for that horse to have dobbed against your preferred number of races as below.

Then under staking, you need to set a back entry point.(I've done race start time so its close to bsp, but you can do five minutes or five seconds before the off. Then your hedge needs to be 100% profit or one point for dobs or 200% or 2 points for trobs. Watch it though, I'm not sure its working properly yet. It's just working on whether the horse wins or not. I've flagged it to poor Adam who is probably starting to regret letting me anywhere near this lol

@john-folan do you know what to put in the back testing section if you are looking for DOBs for example on the software?

08/11. Odds On lays.

13:10 Wolverhampton Dark Swansong. Poor draw bias as Wolves favours the lower stalls. Price too short based on form. Should be around 3’s

12:50 Kempton Midnights Legacy. Up in trip and running under a penalty. Won against two other runners lto. A fair few more this time including a few unexposed horses.

13:55 Kempton. Doddlethegreat. On a hat trick but so is the second favourite. Way too short. Should be at least evens. Massively up in trip against a horse who won at this distance LTO.

This is a playlist since I started posting. The bought forward bit is from when before I was using Bfbotmanager to place them. So only a couple of points down overall. Puts it in perspective

[John Folan]

1/5. A couple of points lost. Annoying tho

[John Folan]

Hallelujah one finally goes down

Today's Trob. Yesterdays seemed to run backwards for some reason. 3.5-9 odds range

Trob Dob and Win.

Laying Notebook in the 14:55 at Navan. Up against Samcro who is top class on his days.

This is getting ridiculous now

Match fixing?

Odds ons do not win this much. Mad variance. Still not a massive loss points wise since I started posting but still. Watch them all start losing Cheltenham week.

@john-folan mine didn't load maybe I did something wrong

I had a bit of trouble at first. Sometimes it just hangs.

Odds On Lays. 07/11

Nitemare run at the moment. Never seen so many odds on hit home.

I will be laying these 20 seconds out via BFbotmanager. Anything not under 2.0 at that point will be a no bet.

14:10 Sandown. Chantry House. A very low priced lay. Up against a very smart hurdler in The Big Breakaway. Not a lot to really choose between them. The Big Breakaway could be slightly fitter as last run 28 days ago. Also gives away 6lb to his opponent which could make a difference over 3 miles.

14:30 Ffos Las. The Grand Visir. Odds on but not won a race. Has flicked back and forward between turf and hurdles as well.

12:10 Navan. Ginto. Substantial increase in trip. Hurdles bow. Way to short. 8 months off.

12:40 Navan. My Mate Mozzie. Way too short. Chemical Energy has a much better form history. Both prominent runners so this will be a straight fight between them. Including the favourite there are 4 LTO winners in this race who will all want a say.

As a note I got a good amount of this information off of the new race cards in the beta. I did double check it and it is accurate. They are going to make my life so much easier. Let’s hope for a much better day than yesterday.

@martin said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

@john-folan how long is it taking for you when you load the strategy results in the backtest?

Depends. Quite quickly sometimes and slow on others. When I’m putting anything with odds filters for example. I’ve had a couple where it’s just stuck on the loading strategy results. I’ve flagged it all to Adam.

@martin said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

@john-folan cheers, I mean more the numbers so there is a 0-12 on one of the pace filters and a 1-40, not sure what those mean.

Oh in the system builder? Not played with pace yet. I’ll have a nose later.

So many things to try out
