@martin-futter I believe @Gareth-Thomas might be referring to the actual process of the trade i.e. back to lay/lay to back etc.
Am intrigued myself
OTBC!Hi fellas. If you look on my resources thread there’s a full explanation of a trob. It is a back to lay hoping for a 67% drop in price.

Hi,
I know you say there's no such thing as a daft question .. but possibly here comes one ...I'm still following the 'Rubbish Tipster' advice (seeing how they get on) but I thought - and I am clearly not the first to think this - how about backing the tips of the top napster's. Presumably people have looked at this previously and discounted it?
Since last week (and I'm only paper trading), just picking the top 3 winning naps, backing them to win and place has had a combined 40.9% strike rate and made 12pts (85-15 split for the 'to win').
I'll stick with tracking it but thought I'd ask whether anyone has previously tracked it for a decent period of time and found anything more useful than my pitifully small sample size.
my answer to any inquiry like this is simple, set up a sheet and test it

@john-folan Hi John. Is this something you're sharing for other people to use or just to show what you're doing? If it's the former, is there somewhere I can find an explanation about what it all means? Thanks
he trobs them (treble or bust) so basically you back them and trade to make 200% profit on stake (so say £10 stake you would make £20 profit, £30 returned hence the treble)

Todays. 3.5-9 as usual

Well, first of all, thanks for the positive reply and not making me feel like a dick
I'll keep paper trading and seeing what needs adapting.
found a very useful website - napchecker.com - which has historical data from naps/napsters/tips etc.
Will see how I go.

@finn-kristensen said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
@gareth-thomas I tried it a couple of years ago or so - I found that some of the top tipsters were only there due a few high-odds winners, so they didn't deliver on a regular basis. If you can remove them, there may be potential.
Maybe you could record their averages and averages of their winners against those of their losers to get a feel.
I prefer median average as well so you eliminate the outliers.
-
@gareth-thomas Also, I know that there is a strategy "out there" based on following the top 3 tipsters. As soon as they have had 3 losers in a row, you start backing them, since generally, they should be good at picking winners, so their losing runs should be pretty short. Haven't tested it myself though.
