Looking at this a little differently now as I noticed some other things highlighted on the winning warlock site which seemed a little more relevant.

I've now looked at just those horses who's last 5 runs saw a decent average inplay drop. You can find these easy enough by looking at only those with rosettes againsty them.

I've calculated the mean average as before with the median average to the right of this. Where these averages still look to be putting the horse either way above or cllose to it's probable starting price today I have taken away the highest in running price and calculated median average of that. Where it still looks high I have taken away the next highest and done the average of what remains (2 prices so mean/median - it's all the same).

The one other change I've made is that if the horse has won more than once in it's last 5 races it has been excluded entirely.

Scottish Summit matched as low as 2.14 for over £100 so that's 2 in the bag thus far since yesterday.

Fifth Position matched as low as 2.32. That's 3 potentials in the bag. Think I'll do this for a week and if it's profitable, start up properly next week.

Just That Lord didn't match there.

Anyone have any issues with the 1300 at Kempton? I had two matched at 1.81 but somehow Betfair had them registered at 1.58 and I am 100% sure I did everything correctly as when I went to the "Manual Bet" screen again, all the data was correct ready for the next race

Today's selections - again small stakes and looking for odds to shorten in-play.
12.45 - Jackstar (currently 13/2)
13.55 - Overwrite (currently 7/1)
17.25 - Multellie (currently 14/1)

Figures on the left are star rating as awarded by winning warlock (they go 1-5). In the middle is the mean average inplay price for the horse excluding where they have won. Far right is the median average. Massive difference. I'm wondering if this wouldn't be possible as a one size fiits all kind of thing.

Median ave seems more sensible but then on some that's crazy low and the mean average might make more sense. I'm not sure. I will have another look tomorrow.

Would have been one winner caught in these prices:

BSP was 30.0 and matched at 4.1 to lay.

@richard-lillis
Hope you stayed with your interest in queen of kalahari...good shout

[A Former User]

Not sure how it compares overall but regular punters and traders starved of action.likely to be strong liquidity for foreseeable future.

[A Former User]

@cyril-reaney Have you done many 5f... Obviously that's outside of Martins parameters... There's a lot more money matched today against USA is that typical?

[A Former User]

@alan-steward well done.did similar myself in sprint races.I believe that all the races for next while will be utterly competitive and sprints 5 and 6 furlongs should be lucrative for Ltf.

[A Former User]

LTF at Newcastle
14:10 - 2 matched @ 1.81
15:55 - 2 matched @ 1.81

@cyril-reaney Excellent and thanks for your response

Hi Alan
NH refers to National Hunt rules which is Jump racing.The National Hunt season will re commence in the U K in July. The season reaches a peak each year with big festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree and normally ends at Sandown in late April. Weights and distances differ from flat races quite a bit and big difference between summer jumping and from approximately Oct 1st.This is when the best N H horses start appearing.
Good luck

@richard-lillis Hi Richard, I've noticed the abbreviation NH used before but it means? I suspect I'll get that stupid feeling when you explain lol.

Also what is your preferred strategy with horse trading?
