Was outside washing the car and there was a couple of builders next door talking about their weekend and one lad genuinely said "nah I didn't have the Derby winner as I always back the yellow horses"...

So i was chuckling thinking @Martin would love that.

haha, I think some people think I joke as well when I talk about someone backing a horse based on it's colour!

@john-folan are you trading all 7 horses in one race mate?

It’s the two strategies. Both only profitable if you do them all.

This is important. If you have 10 strategies, and every one selects the same horse, then you back/lay it 10 times. This is because each selection is per system, and should have its own individual betting bank. If you don't back/lay it 10 times, then you are changing the strategy in to one you have not tested.

Thankfully not the case with these. One looks at horses pace rated 2. The others rated 0. No duplicates

Both non runners yesterday.

Trobs: Trob, Dob or Win, anything over 3.0

Slow Horses. Dob anything over 6.0

Zero Paced Dobs. Dob any over 20.00

2 points up on trobs so far. One to go.

Sadly no dobs from the three that matched between slow horses and zero paved dobs

Interesting strategy, I'll have to try it on the software!

Todays. Trobs Only. Do anything over 3.0. You might notice the running totals for each has been increased by 100. That's because I am now running a drawdown calculator and I needed a starting bank so did 100 points for each.

At last. I've managed to dig out a 4 STAR. No, you can't have the rules.

I'll say that it is based on overreactions on fancied horses in-running, and uses the Max Qualifiers Per Race = 1 rule, which is a powerful rule for in-running.

As you know, I like to keep things simple. It uses 1 rule.

Looks superb. Looks like some sort of back to lay strategy I’m guessing. Enjoy all the DM’s you will now get

Nothing again today. Strange but there you go.

[John Folan]

Live testing the last month.

My Trobs 6 points Trob, 7 Points Dob and 17 points win.

Zero Paced Lays 26 Points
Slow Horses Break Even
Short Odds Lays. A whopping 35 points.

These are from the trades I have placed, so my own results. Will probably be a little off while I tweaked bots etc but more than happy with that. Not bothered about a lack of good profit on slow horses as it has months where there are small losses or little profit.

@martin said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

@john-folan that's great to hear as my short odds strategy is all about which horse hits set price impossible to get exact selections early morning

Same with mine. Are you going to set yourself up with a bot at some point?
