Lay 3rd fav doing well for everyone else this month?

Ive officially abandoned my Lay 3rd fav strategy today. Since you asked this question(27th Aug) Its pretty much not moved. Its shot up to a 30 point gain, nearly hit 40 points then has hovered between 30 and 40 for 3 months. Frankly, I get pissed off when it has a bad day and eats into my L2B profit! So, its done. Slowly find myself heading away from automation and looking to be more in control of my horse racing...

Not to mention I had a mare(no pun intended!) and accidently deleted my original one...along with some others

Horse racing is so frustrating some times. My biggest paydays are still scalping and lay to backs.Neither of which are automated

They do quite well trobbing as well if you are feeling brave

John Folan

Anyone know what happened in the 16:45 at Cheltenham today?

Fiercely Proud looks to have been removed at 16:54, 9 minutes after the race was supposed to go off!

Was he arsing about, caused a massive delay and eventually got removed at the last minute?

Nigel

@Martin ok thanks Martin

Martin

@Nigel with issues on horse software it's best to contact Adam directly via the support page he set up on the software page: https://form.asana.com/?k=V4sICWddOgH3CMQ96g0XSA&d=1120854233877885

hi all
does anyone know why in the strategy builder when i input something in the notes section i have to type it 3 or 4 times before it stays there, has anyone encountered this problem before, it has always done it
thanks

@John-Folan currently in Corfu putting on the 2 stone you've lost. Almost tempted to fire up the VPN but there's too much food around

Martin

@John-Folan think I have one I'm testing until January, if I do and it is good will share it

@John-Folan been up and down for me, always seems to be the way with the changing seasons

This is why I’d love a good all weather strategy. Although even that is different winter to the summer

How’s everyone doing? Had a bit of a break. Been quite nice actually. Left the automation going and done nothing else. Managed to lose nearly two stone as well through diet and exercise. Ready to get back on the daily scalping and manual stuff again.

Adam

Anyone back Kingdom Calling in the 14:15 at Listowel today?

1000 BSP winner

Martin

@Tony-Hastie I used to be like that!

'well it's in the red so it must be rubbish!'

Tested for one day...

Tony Hastie

@Martin Was about 4 points but Im getting better

Adam

@Martin Personally I get grumpy if I end a single month with a loss on a strategy

I'd usually stick it out for a quarter though and then look at the history to see if such a losing run has ever happened before and take a view.

If it's a strategy with bets all year round and there's been no return for a quarter, I'd definitely be thinking about moving on as there are better opportunities.

Martin

Wondering if anyone has an amount of -points that they quit a strategy on.

I think if a strategy goes to -30pts it's usually one I will put on hold, wondering what other horse traders have as their own personal limits?

Martin

@Tony-Hastie they must have been a long way from Manchester then as the weather here is awful
