Is this a new system John your testing?
How should the newbie go about this mate?

It's not a system. I go through looking at low priced fave's for a reason to lay them. I've always done well at it. They are literally straight one point lays.

Today's Trobs. Just watch the going although it should be ok at both courses. 3.5-9 odds range as usual.

I'm going to speak to Adam tomorrow in our weekly meeting and see if there are any strategies we can start testing before the software is ready, to start amping up interest on here!

That would be good. Laying false favourites like those two I picked last night would be a good start. I’d love to know how they price up horses. Jokers

how do you select them at the moment? see if we can add it in

I look at reasons why they might struggle
Not run distance before
Not run on surface/going
Days since last run
Crap draw(this is golden)
Up in class.
Win record.

Probably more subjective than objective to be fair.

Good calls John massive drift on the 2and horse meant opportunity there to take profit b4 start ..never threatened in race itself.

I laid at 3.75 when I posted. I wouldn’t have taken it on at its bsp. Nice when the market backs your choice tho.

Tonight on the AW at Newcastle I am laying

1. Meritorious 17:00
2. Ask the Wind 18:30

See how they go.

Good start - Meritorious nowhere near. BSP 2.91.

I love it when they get excited about a horse who’s a stranger to the going/surface.

2/2. I’ll see if I can dig out a few more tomorrow

@john-folan Hi John, I'm new to trading and don't know much about horse racing but was wondering what you do with your selections - do you back them to win / place or look to trade them before the race?

Hi mate there’s an explanation in my resources thread. We are basically looking for a treble or bust (trob) in running. So backing at A price of between 3.5-9 just before the off then a lay in place at the two thirds drop point. So 9.0 down to 3.0 for example or 6.0 down to 2. You either win two points on top of your stake or lose your stake if it fails to drop. It’s pretty steady and has been over the last year.

@cyril-reaney said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

@john-folan yes its surprising the lack of discussion about racing ....perhaps people should be encouraged to put up their trades / stragesies/guidelines /rules.I n racing their are so many variables.

That’s why I love them tbh. Laying favourites is another great strategy. Might start posting those. Odds on so cheap.
