Everything I run is struggling at the moment. Apart from scalping and lay to backs. Weird world.

Nothing matched. Yawn

Here are the main results if I restrict the odds to greater than 15. This is utterly ridiculous.

[John Folan]

Ok this is a bit mental. I have been messing around trying to prove theory on odds ranges and I've come across this. The lay prices are bonkers as looking at the BSP Breakdown you would want to lay above 15.00 odds. You would occasionally get walloped by a big odds horse, but a well run bank would sort that. The filters are minimal so chances of it being backfitted are negligible. You could probably trim a bit more variance away. @Adam-Williams do you want to run this through the BTC Software and see if it gets similar results? The filters are on the first JPEG. There is nothing incorporating a rating so hopefully it should match. Anyway, I would be grateful for people's thoughts.

Both hit and one converted so a point up on the day. Just the one today. 3.5-9 as usual

[John Folan]

I was right. Nothing hit. Two for today. Both should hit the 3.5-9 odds range. Just keep an eye on the going and don't do them if the ground turns heavy.

[John Folan]

Two today. doubt either will hit the 3.5-9 odds

[John Folan]

Nothing hit at all so what do I know? Here are todays. 3.5-9 odds range only

[John Folan]

Just three today. Two should be in range later. 3.5-9 odds only

@john-folan Interesting analysis, John. May I ask you what software you use? ProForm? Still waiting for the BTC software to be released...

No Inform. I’m a little bit careful with him as there can be mistakes in some of his ratings but for stuff like this with few filters it it fine. Especially if done near the start of the days racing.

Adam is just tidying a few things up on the software before the Beta starts. I know it was meant to start Monday but he’s had to delay it slightly. The features sound great though.

@John-Folan Funnily enough I have done exactly that mate Only been stung a couple of time as I've noticed (in my experience) that anything really low, like 1.4ish, doesn't seem to drift too much, especially if its been steaming all day with cracking form. I have however had better success when the price has been around 1.7/ 1.8 as then it seems to drift easily up to and sometimes beyond 2's!

Has this been your experience at all?

Initially I had been doing the opposite of this, watching for the 2nd to start moving in but sometimes I'd get caught out and it would end up being the 3rd horse that opposes the fav; so your suggestion of laying the short price made a lot of sense to me

Would make sense. I seem to do ok lower down but above 1.7 it deffo drifts more. Like the market isn't that sure

I'm going to keep looking at the really short ones, maybe even up the stake size for less ticks and see if that works but all the while being defensive as f**k - which I believe is in fact the technical trading term
