@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.

[John Folan]

Today's. I doubt it will match. Going has wiped out any other potentials

Two points loss. On to todays

3 points back. Steady as she goes. We need some more action in this thread. I’m bored talking to myself. Where is @Charles-Cartwright when you need him?

Waiting on the software myself, if we get that out I predict then it will pick up big time!

If the interface is like the football software and the content is good. You will corner the market.

Yeah - there will probably be more activity in here when the horse racing software is launched.

Bit annoying really. Not many horse traders around anymore and I make the bulk of my money from horses. Never been able to do much with football. I’m too opinionated there so it doesn’t work. Some people have that problem with politics and trade what they want to happen. Rather than what in all likelihood will. I do it with football. So I generally avoid it. Horses I find easier. Mostly because I have no interest in them from a personal point of view. I can quite happily follow the maths.

Yeah, well, I have never really been able to make money on horses. Lord knows I've tried... I bought the Betfair Scalper course once but haven't ever got it to work, although truth be told I probably haven't had the patience to practice it enough. I just find it incredibly boring to scalp for 1-3 points per race and then sometimes you lose 5 points and more and have to spend a lot of time just clawing that back... not for me. Since there is no horse racing software yet I would expect that most people come here for the football, secondarily for the tennis. Once the horse racing software is here, people will be aware of the fact the BTC now has that as well which should attract traders with interest in that.

That should work. In other news inform are looking to improve their Inrunning software. That should be interesting. Proform have never got that quite right. So if someone does they would have a big advantage

Two points loss. On to todays

[John Folan]

Three tomorrow. The going is affecting selection numbers as I predicted. Newbury already heavy so a no go for these.

[John Folan]

None today and was dead unlucky yesterday. I was matched at 7.2 at 1 second out and it drifted to 8.03 which would have been a trob. I daresay it has worked in my favour a few times so it probably balances out.

[John Folan]

@martin-futter no it really doesn’t. The beauty is that it’s two points if it trades. That win column looks tasty as well.

[Martin]

@john-folan that's the thing with these isn't it it doesn't take much to recover a bad period!

[John Folan]

Storming few days, however I’m guessing a lot of you probably gave up on these after the bad run started. They are now back to their high point There aren’t a huge amount of selections with these so you can run at a loss for a few weeks. It’s all relative to strategies with more selections, just over a longer timeframe. The weather will start to affect the number of selections now. Bfbotmanager gets the going wrong as it doesn’t update if it changes as the day goes on, so I manually check it and delete races accordingly. I’ve spoken to their support and they are going to address this in a future update.
Tomorrow’s selections. Just need to be filtered for no heavy going and an odds range of between 3.5-9

[John Folan]

[John Folan]

Bit of a sweet spot the last few days. Hopefully settle into the jumps more now.

@martin-futter
What is current status on racing stats ?
Realistic date please

I'll get an update from @adam-williams in our company meeting today, difficult to provide dates for software as small things can hold development up, I'd hope it's out by the start of the flat season at the latest

Can we have a teaser trailer like they do for films?

Adam says it's nearly ready for BETA testing!

Wicked. That will be interesting. Looking forward to getting my greasy paws on it. Something to do now I’m living in the ‘dirty zone’ as my sister calls it!
