@john-folan interesting to see your odds range, would you think that was a good one for back to lay in general?

I do. You know they are kind of in with a shout. Generally they will be in the top 4 faves. Also worth looking at avoiding races with an evens or closer favourite? All the focus seems to be on them inrunning and a horse needs to go some to get a drop when running against one.

@john-folan good to see you back.
Onwards and upwards.

Well not so much. I collected the last few days results. Bit down but not much. They have been dobbing but not trobbing

Today’s. 3.5-9 odds. No heavy

Fancy these as potential decent back to lays today, no strategy yet, just going to monitor for a while. Not got an odds range as monitoring but guessing below 3.0 BSP won't be very easy to DOB and anything odds on is totally void.
Just one today:

@john-folan hope you are feeling better mate!

Stomach ulcer. Flares up every now and again. Didn’t enjoy the camera down the throat again. Still, at least no colonoscopy again. All ways look on the bright side.

Nothing from me either. Not been well for a few days. Nothing Corona related.

[Martin]

None today.

@brigitta-nagy good point, may be worth doing it a little higher just to avoid the others doing the same thing

@martin-futter
Hi Martin and all,
I tried today Dob strategy on 5 horse racings today. 4 horses dobbed but I lost my stake because it hasn't been matched, but the horse definitely dobbed.
Do you have the same problem?
Where do you put your stake? Where no more money for being first in the queue or where the dob strategy says you should put on that odds?
Thank you for help

I’m also looking forward to this software coming into effect. Like the idea of different trade selections being provided as it would seem to give you the opportunity to pick trades based on your own personal trading style/ attitude to risk

[Martin]

@gary-brown I think it's similar but easier for people to use, think it also suggests selections based on what type of trade you want to do, will know more when we all see it!

yes the big advantage of horses is that you can trade it during the normal working day, so for me it's ideal as I can still spend social hours with family

[A Former User]

can we do selections like with the footie.
It would be great trade a few horses and move onto the footie in the evenings.
Also helps when their are gaps in the footie seasons with limited games if we can get the gee gees winning us all some cash
