@james-everard In fact how are you going to paper trade this, just with the odds live when the race is live and make a note of how many would have matched?
-
@martin-futter I was thinking that too, I noticed that there was about £60k there when it first went off and I saw one of the previous comments.
The joys of being a newbie
-
@terry-cooke I think it has something to do with liquidity, I think there were a few that would have got matched shorter but if you see the gaps in the prices in-running they are quite big!
-
@james-everard Paper trading sounds sensible to me. Typical that the one race I thought I would take a look at only 1 matched.
-
Ok mate keeping an eye with small stakes and monitor . I am going to start paper trading these and make notes of the courses , handicaps , length of course, number of runners , weather conditions etc. I reckon a few months of analysis will give us a better indication which races to trade this strategy to make profitable in the long run
-
@james-everard I've definitely had most joy in US races. More often than not I get at least 2 matches. Just seem to go round in circles in AUS.
-
@martin-futter Hi Martin do you have any other courses you would recommend not to touch in Australia ?
-
Hence only doing £2 lays as it will takes 4 doubles winners to break even, although if you can get 3 horses that will be what we need to make this profitable long term
-
@james-everard Think I might give that one a go, see how it goes
-
Yes got two matched only small wins as testing just doing £2 lays if two come in with the lay odds I only get £0.35 profit not had 3 or more come in yet which would be more profitable. The 19.22 I thought looks promising as well 10 runners , 1 mile again, the fav odds is 4.6 so no clear favourite and 6 horses with odds under 10.0
-
That must of been close to 4 matching at 1.8? The graph had refreshed pretty quick after the race ended.
-
@james-everard did you have any joy on this one? From what I can see the 20:55 looks good
-
@mull Thanks
-
@terry-cooke Pretty sure you can use BF. Although i cant see keep in play.
Edit. Found it once lays placed. -
@terry-cooke said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
@james-everard Does this have to be done on trading software to keep as I don't see the option when I'm looking in BF.
Ideally mate , not sure if you can place a bet before the race and for it to go inplay without software.

18.52 at Tampla bay again . 12 runners , 1 mile , no out and out favourite and 4 odds under 10 and 1 10.5. Is this a good possibility ?
-
@james-everard Nice work mate!
-

-
