@dan-mackinnon don’t worry we have got systems in place now that the next piece of software will be much smoother to make. Football is the next one, there are two things I want on it backtesting and a filter for end of season so I don’t have to check that.
-
@stuart-wallace haha, good to see we use the same approach to horse racing.
As for the software, with my knowledge of horses it could just be a random name generator! All I'm saying is that, with or without the software if people wanted to collaborate we could try and learn a little beforehand? Otherwise everyone will just be hitting random buttons hoping for the best - again a little insight into my intended approach.

@dan-mackinnon Ah, but 1) does it work? 2) Is it clear of bugs? , and ........3) Will it make a total Horse Racing trader idiot like me any money?!.
Must admit, my previous experience of trying to make money on HR was like pissing in the wind hoping none splashes on my shoes.-
It works. I’ve had it working on my phone and iPad as well.
-
Probably not, but find me a piece of software that is. Most of them are gone and I’ve double checked data elsewhere and it is accurate.
-
Steep learning curve will be needed but there is stuff in there that will help. Horse racing is not as easy as people think it is to master. Systems have always been a problem as back testing is still a problem and we will have to have a caveat that data from March 2020 to probably late last year will have been affected by covid and all the restrictions. My trobs for example whilst profitable slowed up a lot. Only really returning to normal now. Last seasons flat for example was pretty flat(couldn’t resist).

As much as it is frustrating to have to wait, there's been so much hype that you can only make one first impression. If they rushed to release it and it was full of bugs and didn't work everyone would moan and wouldn't trust them when they did something similar for the football software (hint, hint
). There's also football and tennis software and collaborative projects. If some people did want to investigate horse racing, I know I'm a complete newbie, maybe we could do a collaborative paper trading project while we wait?That, or as @Martin said, him and @John-Folan have decided to keep it for themselves.

In all seriousness I tried to break it yesterday and Saturday and couldn’t. Adam has a couple of minor bits to sort out and then he can have a nervous breakdown as he starts to let more people have access.

Honestly worth the wait. I’ve learnt a lot about software development being involved in this beta. Nothings ever simple and something that fixes one problem usually creates another
. I’ve probably created a lot of problems myself -
