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.

Nothing again today. Strange but there you go.

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.

@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?

Laying horses at short odds is ridiculous. Can’t believe how many just don’t perform. The short odds strategy I posted last month has been mental. Martin’s doing well too. I’d be on that if I didn’t have one

Have you made a bot for that in BFBM? I presume you would have to import the horse selections

Has to be a bot. You don’t need to import the selections once you have the parameters set as Bfbot can filter it the same as the software

Todays with the usual paremeters

Trobs

Slow Horses

Got my BSP dob bot with a minimum back price working properly now. Worked a treat on Slow Horses. This is going to take my set and forgets to a whole new level .

Odds on horses are relatively equal over 5 years of data.

Less than 2.0

Less than 1.5

The 1.8 to 2.4 range is a good hunting ground with a few other conditions ;). I’ve done them selecting them myself for years and always done well. Nice to have settled on something that’s a system and can be botted.

I’m testing one also which is doing equally as well

Trobs

Slow Horses

[John Folan]

Nothing matched yesterday on trobs. Slow horses made a point.

Trobs: Dob, Trob or straight win anything between 3.5-9 near the off

Slow Horses: Dob anything 5 and over near the off

@keith

Just research that price range. I'd say it is just a one of those quirks that happens with results now and again, and if it was run over 5 years of data, it would vanish.

Wonder if it’s to do with resistance points for the exit.

Seeing something that is coming up quite a lot looking at dobbing or trobbing strategies. It's a bit of an anomaly but it's happening in my dr trobs as well. The 6.0-6.99 odds range is atrocious. Even if 3.5-5.99 and 7.0 and above is great. This is rearing it's head a lot so it must be a thing. Damned if I can work out why. Any thoughts?

I've seen this with a few systems where price ranges in between others are an anomaly. I can't seem to explain why either!
I remember @Keith-Driscoll saying that there needs to be a reason to disqualify certain parameters.

He’s right there is. I’m not discounting them yet. Just going to keep an eye.
