An average day for my lays but still going strong and I've started to flesh out my spreadsheet with yields and s/r's haha!

On those ones the best lay price is now looking like the smallest @ 2.24. Not suure I fancy going any smaller but we'll see.

On the more restricted it's still such a high s/r that 2.8 remains the best lay price.

Not a great day for the naps lays yesterday -0.19pts on win and -1.59pts on place. Won't put these on the daily email yet!
Today's lays:
19:15 Curr TAURAN SHAMAN
12:30 Wolv GRIGGY
16:00 Wolv FINAL CHOICE
18:10 Curr GOLD MAZE

Nice profit on these today mainly thanks to none of them winning a race!

@cyril-reaney Adam showed me and @Ryan-Carruthers some of the early stuff and it looks very good.

It's become clear that doing a general 'Dobbing' strategy using all M Johnston runners would not be successul. However, looking through the results (admittedly small sample) it appears that the horses who were successful - 80% are confirmed front runners (hard to explain but i have a database with horses running styles). So i think the following (more selective trading plan strategy will be successful.

I will selectively indentify M Johnston runners who are confirmed front runners and judging on the other runners in the race are likely to get an easy lead.
I have set up a strategy on BF Manager to place bets at BSP - with a hedge at 100%, 75% and 50%.  (to compare results)

I will post selections and results on the forum - if anybody has any suggestions / ideas feel free to get involved.

No qualifiers today!

Had a winner on the lays ruled out by betfairs down time. Only for data but annoying nonethless.

Beaten by a short head, I've decided to included it as so obv qualified.

So here are results after today. Looking at the system as a whole rather than the shitness of betfair so assuming the btn sh horse would have traded pretty damn low if it was able!!

S

These are all horses on winning warlock with a rosette placed by their name meaning they have ran well over the last 5. They are also all horses that have won no more than once during this time.

And for the 2nd lot these are all horses marked between 2*-5* on the career in running stats rather than just last 5. Again crucially no more than one win in the last 5 though.

This is a much more restricted criteria so way less selections.

Early days again but today has seen the price point of 2.56 strengthen claim as best for now. Less liability and only one horse ruled out so far. 2.24 the next best in terms of profit. A few horses ruled out but liability obv much better.

On the other selections it's still 2.8 as best but with 2.62 quite close.

@alan-steward yeah quite a few get down to 1.81 and 2.04 but rarely reach 1.61

[A Former User]
