@Matthew-Harrison Yeh def bad timing but stick with it. I’ve been following this since the start of the year and despite a bad week this week it’s still in very healthy profit.
-
@Peter-McFarlane I have managed to import the lay the beaten fav and it is firing on one selection but I am struggling if I have more than one selection for that race. At the moment I am opening up more than one guardian to get around this issue but its not ideal
-
@Matthew-Harrison Its been a nightmare 4 days
-
Still going to stick with it though. It’s obviously profitable, I just couldn’t of started on a worse day
-
@Ryan-Clark Lay the Beaten Fav.baf Back the Fav at the off.baf
I have the lay the beaten favourite copied 5 times to suit Automation rule columns 1-5 and nominated selections 1-5 in GuardianIm not sure if these will allow you to import them. Never done this before
-
It’s my first full day of trading lay the beaten favourite . I feel like the most unluckiest man ever haha
-
@Matthew-Harrison Yeh today is one of those days where I wish I hadn’t switched back to fixed staking.
Brutal to have 2x 15/1 losses in one day when history suggests you get one of those a month on average.
But hey ho it’s all about the long term right
-
It’s 24 points down today so far
-
They should be available here:

Hi all,
Does anyone have automation files set up for the back the fav and lay beaten fav strategies on bet angel ? If so would you be able to share them on here ? Have tried to create them myself but they are not firing at times.
If this isn’t the correct thread then please let me know
Cheers
-
@Jonathan-Jones yeah mine is down about 50% but that’s also because of aggressive staking. I know it recovers quickly enough so I’m not too concerned
-
@Dan-MacKinnon May has been an absolute car crash. On the back of a great April this is a shocker. No doubt by the morning i will be over 50% in drawdown. To be fair thats not totally representative. I have lost almost 30 points from a mix of unmatched bets and that really annoying favourites issue where they swap places in the last few mins. May is so far a pretty crap negative month anyway but its the other problems that have really been the kicker.
-
@Andy-Donnelly yeah, of course. It's happened before and it'll happen again.
I also wanted to get that horse pun in there!
Which reminds me. A horse walks into a bar....
-
@Dan-MacKinnon Yeh same. To be fair the beaten fav strat was absolute flying for a good 3-4 weeks so probably due a dip this week. Hope it picks up again shortly..
-
I've had an absolute 'mare these past couple of days with the horses (pun intended!)
But if being here has taught me anything, a good strategy isn't about avoiding all losers, a good strategy gets you back to square 1 asap.

@Joseph-Henderson I think you mentioned before the concept of using say one year of data (say 2022) for the initial strategy creation and then testing it against 2023, it’s definitely helped me with a new strategy I’m working on that is looking very promising so far. So thanks for highlighting this as a method.
Want to give my new strategy a few more weeks of forward testing and then will post here.
-
@Joseph-Henderson most of the member ones are from mid last year
-
That is useful thanks. Think I need to spend some time digging into the data.
Do the strategies say anywhere what date they were created? I know when you upload one to the software it says the date you added it, but I am talking about when originally created so it’s clear what historical data it was presumably based on?
