@martin 5,000 trades. April 2021 had 165 trades and April 2022 has 61. Maybe there is nothing today? I'll continue to mess around with strategies and see if anything changes.
Or if you wanted to share a strategy with me and I'll test that and see if I get any results?
-
@dan-mackinnon are you sure you should have any selections today? how many selections came up in the backtest?

@martin said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
@dan-mackinnon just run the strategy and you can see them. (Scroll to bottom and click the third tab upcoming qualifiers)
You need to activate your strategy so beside its name there should be a button that looks like the 'On' button on a TV remote. Click that and it will turn green and will send you your selections tomorrow.
I've watched Adam's video and not getting anything. It just says "no data available" regardless on the strategy

How long before a race do you start receiving your daily qualifiers? I don't have anything and even set up a strategy that should apply today but it's not showing any upcoming qualifiers

Good start lol, may need to refine those strategies a bit.
Look at class. Have to say a lot of beaten faves seem to win. Whether it’s enough to be profitable or not it’s another thing entirely !
Think it just had a bad start, they have done really well over the past year but we will see. Class doesn't have any real impact on these all classes have been profitable.

@martin said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
Beaten Fav Lays (Only odds between and including 6.0-11.5)
What's your strategy for these?
laying Beaten favs last time out, shows a decent profit over the long term in back-testing, not that that guarantees profit in future of course but these look decent. obviously laying at high odds so not for the fainthearted.
Couple more adding in Irish courses:
2682525 21/04/2022 18:30 Tipperary Ask Delaney N Tipperary 10
2682573 21/04/2022 19:00 Tipperary Matilda With Me N Tipperary 7 -

I’ve got a couple of things I’m testing. Again like Martin I’m investigating course filters which seem to be a pretty major thing. I’ll make them available as I finish them.
When you say course filters, are you going to the group breakdown and looking at individual courses?
Yes. Then you can add them as actual filters
I've just done that and my SR jumped from 10% to 25%! Not all the courses are in the dropdown menu though. Have you noticed that?
