@alan-steward I'd be interested in your 6 f results! 1.81 and 2.04 seem to be good entries, 1.61 rarely matches from what i've seen

Martin

@richard-latimer yeah using it fine here

@martin-futter Am still testing 6f to 1m inclusive

Richard Latimer

Anybody else able to get on timeform? Been down for ages here.

Martin

@alan-steward what distances are you testing? i'm testing the ones in the email already but they are limited to 7f now

@martin-futter Hey Martin, was working on the allotment this afternoon and had one of those aha moments... As you know I'm running Bet Angel in simulation mode to see what the best odds are to get matched with LTF... Am running 1.81, 1.98 & 2.04, am running these 30 times each to see best average profit/loss.

Yes I realise it's simulation mode and may not be a true reflection of live mode, but it's not bad.

Then this afternoon I realised why not save a file in all 3 odds and then run simulation mode with different odds in the same races... Doh!!! Lol.

I can open Bet Angel 100 times under 1 licence!

Therefore I can test all 3 odds in the same races... Do you have any other odds you want testing?

Martin

profit on the lay the field today either 2 or 3 depending on your odds requested, 3 went below evens 2 went to 1.16. the first race was a write off thanks to betfair being down!

Martin

@alan-steward lay the place in the BSP option

Found place lays to BSP to most reliable but win and place were profitable last year.

Hi mate, fully understand laying a horse not to win but "place lays to BSP" ???

Cheers

Thought it was a problem with my computer, just restarted it and ran updates. Annoying, because there seem to be a few good opportunities today!

Yep, its crashed on me with an open trade. No idea whether my exit point has been filled. Fingers crossed!

@martin-futter typical, get some sport back and the site crashes; luckily I wasn't in mid trade so no harm done. Hope no one loses out.

Martin

@richard-futter yeah seems to be messed up atm

Richard Futter

Anyone else trading on the horse racing? The site seems to have frozen for me; not sure whether Betfair has crashed.

Time to start the naps table lays again. These did well from mid-May to mid-August last year, will be interesting to see how they do this year.

@richard-lillis apparently lay 1.01 is a profitable strategy long term the only issue is trying to get matched as lots of people put money in at that lay price

I Have heard that a few times but not something i've ever seriously considered. I suppose an alternative would be 1.02 / 1.03 but unsure whether would still be profitble at this range.
