@john-folan Just got in now, reminded me of when you've been expecting a death in the family for a while but it still comes as a shock when it happens
I've also given it a go. Just messed about with the strategy builder and it came back with a 1 star and -500% return. Seems about right for me and horse racing!
Time to start reading "Laying the Field" someone recommended on here a while back. It's currently free on Kindle Unlimited.

A couple of things I have noticed while I have been in the beta.
-
The AW is s**t. Laying strategies probably the way to go.
-
Dobbing is a waste of time. The Trob is where it’s at. Except on the AW because that’s s**t
Read the first post on both threads.

@keith I think you can pretty much test anything
-
I'll be very interested in the horse racing software too but am by no means an expert!
I'm wondering if there will be anything to look at certain trainers and jockeys at certain tracks? Things like that which will normally take a long time to back test. -

@chris-osborne It was just that I thought, if I did have access to the horse racing software what would I do. I know Martin said there will be a guide and suggested strategies, but if I were to approach it cold where would I start.
Exactly where I am as well

@dan-mackinnon said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
Come on then, what strategies are people going to start back testing with the horse racing software?
I'm willing to be the first one to look stupid as I have no clue, but will obviously have to back any horse with red and blue colours, or has either "crystal" "palace" or "eagle" in their name.
From my little bit of scalping, I wonder how successful it is to lay odds on horses that have only run 1 or 2 races. Or have not raced in over 60+ days?
Will the software be able to spot horses that get off to a good start but fade later on?I’ll join you in the looking stupid and having no clue camp
