This is very interesting. Not just laying at 1 price but several staggered steps for each. I guess it's a bit like the split stake in football.
@Martin-Futter what do you think?
-
Going on nothing than good solid reasoning I imagine 2.04 is a good place to put each lay. We all know people always gravitate to a round number so 2.0 will be harder to match than 2.02. But then I would guess the same applies to the number directly after 2.0. A certain amount of people probably think they are being clever by going at 2.02 which of course they are.......to an extent.........until someone jumps ahead of 2.02.
I'm also wondering if doing a blanket lay the field @ 1.01 would be a good idea. The articles I've read point out a blanket lay the field @ 2.0 is a losing prospect but I'm sure we already knew this.
However a blanket lay the field @ 1.01 is a winner even if laying every single UK race on the schedule 24/7 52 weeks a year!
I wonder what kinds of races are more likely to see 1.01 turned over (same as we are allready doing or a whole new set of criteria?)......?

@martin-futter I've added with all the details I know but other than fave price was over 4.0 and there were at least 4 horses under 10.0 I'm not sure on exact details.
-
I make that it now until 20:20. Does everyone concur?
-
@richard-latimer just put 1.95

@alan-steward said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
Yep 4 matched at 1.95... Am going to take a back seat view now am cooking the good lady one of my special cook to order curries
What was your criteria for that one? It didn’t make my filter of 9 runners and fav bsp of 4+
-
@martin-futter don't know lowest price though sorry.

First race lost, second race a bonanza!
-
@richard-latimer missed that one can you add it to the sheet?
-
Tampa Bay looks a good track for this strategy, well at least it provides the criteria we are needing. The next race has 10 runners with 5 currently under 10.0 with the favourite 4.1.
-
Well the next went very well! 4 matched here
-
@martin-futter yeah I looked earlier

-
@martin-futter Did you get more than one?
-
Sound the trumpet….the US races are kicking off.
-
@richard-latimer testing at 2.04 min stakes

@martin-futter assuming you're not just tracking for now what odds you taking at the moment?
