To the man who knows
Ive been paper trading a horse strat and could you let me know if these numbers are good bad or average, just so i know what direction im going inThis is on the Place market
169 bets +27 points -
A point lost against each discipline yesterday. Nothing today. Jumps getting started though
-
Was going to be a bit cautious today, but Betfair seems to be up ok. I will pull the plug on these if it starts playing up. Three potentials. First two both might hit the 3.5-9 odds range. I doubt the third will.
-
Nothing from me today
-
Dob +1, Trob +2, Win +3.4.
Second selection is sadly a non runner.
-
Again a dob but no trob (or win)
Two today. On paper they should both go well. Hopefully the Curragh race drops in as a BF CD is always a good sign.
-
@robin-j-kinross yeah was a bit frustrating a trob just missed but thems the breaks and you can’t have an upper and lower limit on bsp so have to take that one. It has happened the other way a few times as well so it irons itself out
-
@john-folan hopefully better results today then
-
Annoying for me yesterday as one only just missed at the price my bot took but would have trobbed at BSP so (for me) Dobs 0, Trobs -2, Win -2. Here are todays
-
@robin-j-kinross crappola so you didn’t miss anything!
-
@john-folan how did this pan out today bud? I never got a chance to trade today
-
Today's potentials subject to 3.5-9 odds range
-
@anthony-ariss that one proper steamed as it went off below 8. That one dobbed and trobbed. The other race was a non event. One never matched and the other faded faster than Barrymores career
-
Thanks John - only tried one of yours today that was well outside your range - I had Sionnach Eile backed 14 layed at 7 - 1pt profit
-
Dob 0, Trob +1, Win -2
-
Todays subject to the usual odds range
-
Well that was a bit crap.
-
Two potentials today. 3.5-9 odds as usual

Nothing today. Very wonky racing. Still that gives me a lovely opportunity to scalp the favourites all afternoon. Find yourselves nice short odds favourites, wait for the money to come in for 2,3 or 4, lay the favourite and hedge for a profit :).
This is the only type of scalping I've done. But to be honest, I've only ever done it in simulation mode to pass the time while I wait for football trades. I'm sure the day I pluck up the courage to do it for real will be the day it all goes pear shaped!
ÂŁ2 stakes. Slowly slowly catchee monkey. You will only lose a few pence if you ballls it up as well.
