Beaten Fav Lays (Only odds between and including 6.0-11.5)
What's your strategy for these?
laying Beaten favs last time out, shows a decent profit over the long term in back-testing, not that that guarantees profit in future of course but these look decent. obviously laying at high odds so not for the fainthearted.
Couple more adding in Irish courses:

Iāve got a couple of things Iām testing. Again like Martin Iām investigating course filters which seem to be a pretty major thing. Iāll make them available as I finish them.
When you say course filters, are you going to the group breakdown and looking at individual courses?
Yes. Then you can add them as actual filters
I've just done that and my SR jumped from 10% to 25%! Not all the courses are in the dropdown menu though. Have you noticed that?

Encouraging to see folk getting stuck in with the software @John-Folan looks like the horse racing thread is no longer like your own solo blog mate
Definitely think there is something in LTF. I pissed about with it a while back at odds of 1.8 figuring that the strike rate might be higher albeit for lower gains. Difference was I was mainly placing the lays in play while watching the live feed. Essentially I was looking for horses that would bunch up in the latter portions of the race. Again, I found this seemed to happen more in competitive races but occasionally on ones with an obvious fav.
Not sure if this info is of any use as I am more of a pre race trader and was just messing about with min stakes on LTF in play.

@chris-osborne they do, but when I did the back testing it was set between 11am to 9pm. I originally thought if short A/W races that are tight maybe this is ideal LTF races. But the back testing showed 1-5pm was the sweet spot. Straight away this software is proving worthwhile because it challenges what I would have gone with originally

Today's Trobs subject to the usual 3.5-9 odds range.

@dan-mackinnon said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
@stuart-wallace when I hover over it says "class number of the race". When I look one of the courses the classes are 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 3, 5, 5.
Yes definitely. A problem shared and all that
Here you go. Its a way of making sure horses with a very high handicap isn't put up against (allegedly) a horse with a much lower handicap. This table should help

@dan-mackinnon in the same camp as you but donāt a lot of meetings take place in the evenings especially in the summer
