@andrew-wooding
Yes Andrew this is a useful starting point.Its also worth looking at 3 place laying when 1 is very short say 1.4 to 1.6 and the next 2 under 2.0.you need to look and see their are a couple more with chances.It is very useful where you have Unraced maidens where market is guessing.
Today their are quite a number of class 5and class6 races at Catterick which are generally good for laying .Horses at this level are unreliable in terms of repeating efforts.As an example the fav in 12 45 had failed to place in 11 previous outings..it was available to lay 3.6 up to 4.0 and around events in the place market.I find sprints 5 and 6 furlongs very good for this.
In many races on betfair there is a 2places market even in races with many runners .
Hope this helps

Hi All.
Laying the place for the top 2 in the market, in a 5-7 runner race where only 2 places are paid. Assuming both runners are odds on for the place.

Got legs? Garbage?

I'm not altogether sure there's much point in continuing the winning warlock lays when the site keeps failing to update. I am definitely going to look into something similar though when the horse stats become available.

Another point scored yesterday as one winner and one loser. Two selections today. 3.5-9.0 Odds range.

@richard-latimer Ha ha, fair enough

@richard-latimer Doesn't sound like a very professional website..?

[Richard Latimer]

The unreliability of of this website is going to make things very difficult doing this in the real world. It's still not showing todays cards.

[Richard Latimer]

The website where I get these is playing up today so no selections in advance. Will look through later and see what could have been. No great shakes right now as I wouldn't be putting money on them.

Another frustrating day with 2 qualifiers and a 50/50 split.

@dan-erridge cheers for taking the time to respond Dan. Really appreciated!!

Swing trading is one for the future as I’m not yet up on trading software. DOB’ing is however something I’ve been thinking about. I have pulled together a way to identify horses which to DOB, but how to do it not for the full amount confused the shizz out of me!!

Can I DM you on that subject please?

[John Folan]

One yesterday and it converted for two points profit. Two today 3.5-9 odds range

@Andrew-Wooding
Also will be even better when the BTC racing software comes out, as will help find selections alot quicker for strats like the 25% drop, i cant wait for this as these are easy to automate and leave running in background whilst you trade other things

@andrew-wooding

Hi mate, have you tried pre race swing trading? it takes some time to master but can be very profitable, also dont need to know anything about the horses really as you are trading the market not the runners. Or theres the D.O.B OR 25% in running, where you set your trade and look for price to drop or drift a certain amount in play, so say back at 8, exit in running at 6 for an equal profit, just a few ideas there for you, as i say not easy, but just start on very small stakes, say 10p and watch the markets and you pick up little things, then as you get better/more confident increase your stakes

@richard-lillis @Charles-Cartwright how are you guys finding the racing since the first month restart?

[A Former User]

@andrew-wooding ps - Martin I put up A couple of msgs on Timeform strategy in the private teaching group. Hope that was the right place for it?

[A Former User]

Hi guys.

Horses are something I really want to trade properly as I see the potential, but I don’t know anything over and above what your average sun reader does on the subject. I like the 2 strategies put up by Martin (nap lays and Timeform), but it would be great to see if there is something else to go at. Appreciate folks have prob worked damn hard on their systems so not asking for a free lunch, but maybe a point in the right direction to A published strategy which is proven profitable?

Many thanks.

[Martin]

@john-folan plus so many 4 or below get beaten, ill have a look see where it would have performed best

@martin-futter said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

@john-folan I'm wondering if I should do the same on the nap lays with odds around 6 and above

Odds are the be all and end all I think so worth exploring
