@martin good time for an international break. We can hammer the new software for testing.

@john-folan gone through the cards manually today as can't get any filters working at the moment, couple of good pace horses on the all weather at Polar opposite prices

9th November
Bailey's Accolade Newcastle AW 6f 4:20 PM
Eponina Newcastle AW 7f 7:00 PM

I shall watch those with interest. I like the racecards. Adams adding some of our recommendations this Thursday. It’s really starting to take shape

[John Folan]

Odds On Lays 09/11

14:22 Hereford. Lost in Monmarte. Straight fight between this horse and Neville’s Cross

16:55 Newcastle Azure Blue. First time on this surface. Not won yet. Bit of a cavalry charge.

15:15 Fairyhouse Happy Dex. Up against another LTO winner. Not run since May.

You need to compare the lowest inrunning price to BSP as I have done here. Then underneath you want a percentage of times for that horse to have dobbed against your preferred number of races as below.

Then under staking, you need to set a back entry point.(I've done race start time so its close to bsp, but you can do five minutes or five seconds before the off. Then your hedge needs to be 100% profit or one point for dobs or 200% or 2 points for trobs. Watch it though, I'm not sure its working properly yet. It's just working on whether the horse wins or not. I've flagged it to poor Adam who is probably starting to regret letting me anywhere near this lol

Have you run any back testing successfully in past couple of days? Mine is stuck on an ever loading screen but may be the strategy I'm using

Yes. But depends on the strategy . It might be the rules. Anything with odds filters causes it to hang for example.

@john-folan do you know what to put in the back testing section if you are looking for DOBs for example on the software?

[John Folan]

08/11. Odds On lays.

13:10 Wolverhampton Dark Swansong. Poor draw bias as Wolves favours the lower stalls. Price too short based on form. Should be around 3’s

12:50 Kempton Midnights Legacy. Up in trip and running under a penalty. Won against two other runners lto. A fair few more this time including a few unexposed horses.

13:55 Kempton. Doddlethegreat. On a hat trick but so is the second favourite. Way too short. Should be at least evens. Massively up in trip against a horse who won at this distance LTO.

[John Folan]

This is a playlist since I started posting. The bought forward bit is from when before I was using Bfbotmanager to place them. So only a couple of points down overall. Puts it in perspective

[John Folan]

1/5. A couple of points lost. Annoying tho

[John Folan]

Hallelujah one finally goes down

[John Folan]

This is getting ridiculous now

Match fixing?

Odds ons do not win this much. Mad variance. Still not a massive loss points wise since I started posting but still. Watch them all start losing Cheltenham week.

I had a bit of trouble at first. Sometimes it just hangs.
