Sadly yesterday's only trade bombed. A few more today. I'm going to track the win from now on on those you cannot dob or trob on because they are too short. It's probably got legs. 3.5-9 trob range.

3 points up today.

Have you made any major changes to your bot recently John?
I have it firing 15 seconds before the off, and yesterday I had Pop Dancer match at 4.2 at the off but not Trob, and also Rukwa didn't even match for me.
I do still have in the drifting rule from ages ago, tho not sure if you still use that tbh, or maybe it was Charles, I forget!

I think it’s Charles I don’t have it. Mine fires about 2 seconds out as races are going so much later these days. That’s about it really.

Today’s. Quite a long list but a fair few will be knocked on the 3.5-9 odds filters. These need 36% strike rate long term to profit(factoring 2% comms).

I don't do them at all but I know most people lay the place rather than the win.

Actually Martin advertises them as place lays. In which case the odds should be quite low.

@daniel-cooper Hi. I use the nap lays but with the minimum stake £2. If you familiarise yourself with the maria system, (I believe its available to read on this site somewhere) you can reduce your risk factor. I mix this system and timeform lays in the same 'bank'. As the bank increases so will my stakes.

No bet again yesterday. Today's. 3.5-9 odds range only

[John Folan]

No bet yesterday. One selection today. 3.5-9 odds range

[John Folan]

I've been messing with these and I'm only trading horses between 80-120 OR going forward. This will get rid of the dross and over competitive races in one fell swoop. It also halves the number of selections. Updated spreadsheet attached.
One selection today 3.5-9 odds range as usual. This strategy will still average 10 points a month. Just a lot less swingy.

@john-folan was watching through Betfairs feed as it happened and noticed there was a huge delay afterwards, not sure what went wrong but hope they will be alright

Horse dead I think and jockey was airlifted to hospital.
