Good yesterday. Shockingly bad card today so only one potential selection. On the plus side only one point of yesterday's profit being risked! 3.5-9 odds range only

Getting close to that 100 points mark now

@john-folan I’m resisting getting involved in anything else for a couple of months as I’m concentrating on just a couple of football strategies so need to focus on those. I just decided to put a bit extra into betfair, track the p/l of these separately and see how they go as they are easy to trade

I'm only running a few strategies as well. Everything is still a bit wonky from the shutdown I think so being ultra careful.

@john-folan I’ve been doing one point on trobs, half on the win but I’ve only done them for a couple of weeks.

I don’t do anything with horses other than these but may be tempted to have a mess around with the software and see what it throws up

I’ve given up my proform sub since the lockdown. Tbh the fact you couldn’t backtest Inrunning strategies was a big let down for me. I’ve got nearly a year of every horse that has a 70% plus dob rate now off the Inform inrunning tool. So kind of building my own database. Got another strategy that might have legs as well but not in a rush to stake it as these are good and along with scalping and a little bit of messing with some AW I do alright.

@john-folan a couple of winners aswell

Yep. I’ve been backing those for small stakes. Will do my usual ratchet on them as they keep going. 5 points on the trobs alone today. More on the win .

Really looking forward to getting hold of the racing software to see what can be done with it.

Morning peeps. Nothing hit yesterday but there are a few more potentials today. As ever 3.5-9 odds range only.

Martin

@lee-woodman no I haven't, I did carry it on last year through NH but it was rubbish so scrapped the jumps season and end of flat totally. will test the flat and all weather

@martin-futter have you looked at AW before or is it a new thing?

Martin

Hi all. I've been having some fun with a lay the field strategy during the flat racing season. Does anyone know of a data set showing historical in running prices to compare which courses this strategy is most effective at?

I have been looking at time forms Hi/Lo stats to manually check on this seasons previous meetings but would like to see the data over previous seasons too

Hi Will

You can get it here (it's not free though - I think it's £39 or so for a year): https://www.racing-bet-data.com/default.asp
It's got data for all UK races with BSP and IP min and max prices.

@martin-futter fair enough. In your good hands we’ll leave it then

Martin

@andrew-wooding yeah but I want to test the all weather, flat still has some time left I just need to make sure I don’t get the wrong meetings!
