@martin Copied your beaten fav stratergy, testing it on Bf Bot manager, would have no chance with just the software and no forum. Has Adam started on the football software yet?
would example strategies that you could see help?
Speaking for myself this would help tremendously, the systems that @John-Folan posted have helped a great deal but the more the merrier!

I think they would for those completely new to this.
I have some experience of testing strategies but found it really useful to try and set up the strategies that @John-Folan kindly shared.
Setting them up helps you get to grips with the software and having John's settings gives you a chance to check what you're doing.
Key point for me when testing out a new strategy is to make sure you've got sound logic behind it. With a fantastic bit of kit like this it would be easy to go through several versions of a possible strategy and find some great looking results but if there's no underlying logic you've probably just ended up backfitting a random set of selections parameters. -

@carl-ritchie I made a "test" strategy and would just put in scenarios. Then click on the video and Adam does a short explanation. It's handy to watch the videos as you use the software so you can copy along.
-
@carl-ritchie have a look a bit further back in this thread mate @John-Folan has shared some of his systems already. These helped me a lot.

@martin cheers because i am still lost with all these filters
Have you watched the tutorial videos @Adam made?
-
@martin cheers because i am still lost with all these filters
-
@nick-terracciano no the filters are very simple
-
@martin do you have a minimum amount of runners on your beaten Fav lays?
-
@martin so how does this work do you need the new horse racing stats for this? Just purchased it and looking to have a basic strategy to start with.

@sean-fitzgerald 1/4 so it finished -1pt. However, I'm going to review the back testing results because I think I've missed something obvious. I'm not sure if the software takes into account the liability for the other horses as it shows 1pt for a win, not 0.5 or 1.5, etc. Even if I halved the current results it'll still be profitable. But I want to make sure I fully understand it.
I'm also looking at a "to place" strategy, but again want to make sure I fully get my head round the results as they are based on horses finishing 1st.
nice one keep us updated!
I'm going to paper trade these alongside the back testing for a bit to see how the results compare. I was wrong, the software does take into account the liability of the other horses as it shows 2 trades which makes sense.
