@martin-futter are these odds not going to be too high for you to get your other side matched in running? Its going to need to have a stormer of a race to have anyone wanting to trade it in play for you to get your stake out, plus john said the other day avoid races with big favs, there is an even/odds on fav in this one, just asking cause id like to get involved with horses come the software update. @John-Folan is the 3.5-9.0 odds range for your back to lays for this reason?

Exactly that mate. They at least stand a chance. I’ve collected enough figures now as I keep all the selections above 70% dob value regardless of the other filters and it drops off massively over 9.0 and disappears completely over 20.00

Fancy these as potential decent back to lays today, no strategy yet, just going to monitor for a while. Not got an odds range as monitoring but guessing below 3.0 BSP won't be very easy to DOB and anything odds on is totally void.

Today's Trob. Going should be alright. 3.5-9 odds range only.

@martin-futter said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

@john-folan interesting to see your odds range, would you think that was a good one for back to lay in general?

I do. You know they are kind of in with a shout. Generally they will be in the top 4 faves. Also worth looking at avoiding races with an evens or closer favourite? All the focus seems to be on them inrunning and a horse needs to go some to get a drop when running against one.

@john-folan good to see you back.
Onwards and upwards.

Well not so much. I collected the last few days results. Bit down but not much. They have been dobbing but not trobbing

Today’s. 3.5-9 odds. No heavy

@john-folan hope you are feeling better mate!

Stomach ulcer. Flares up every now and again. Didn’t enjoy the camera down the throat again. Still, at least no colonoscopy again. All ways look on the bright side.

@john-folan hope you are feeling better mate!

[John Folan]

Nothing from me either. Not been well for a few days. Nothing Corona related.

[Martin]

None today.

@brigitta-nagy good point, may be worth doing it a little higher just to avoid the others doing the same thing

@martin-futter
Hi Martin and all,
I tried today Dob strategy on 5 horse racings today. 4 horses dobbed but I lost my stake because it hasn't been matched, but the horse definitely dobbed.
Do you have the same problem?
Where do you put your stake? Where no more money for being first in the queue or where the dob strategy says you should put on that odds?
Thank you for help
