@richard-latimer To be fair mate the profit from 1.8/1.82 on 2 getting matched doesn't really go anywhere does it.

But... If you could get more horses matched @ odds of 2.0 rather than 1.8/1.82 it would equal more profit... Wonder if it's possible to back track odds

Are these next lot of races overnight really only 2 furlong?

He's been playing around with different numbers... We need to know where the numbers drop to in each race right?

Think you have hit the nail on the head, if we can find races where 3 or 4 can be matched inplay , but what is that number (odds)and what strike rate would you need to be profitable?

Richard Latimer

@alan-steward No I meant getting at least 2 matched. Trouble with 2.0 is you don't get a thing unless you can match 3 and every loss is obv a full point. I've tried it before but not been as choosy with race types. Worth tracking though along with everything else.

@richard-latimer do you mean Lay odds of 2? This could be easier to match couldn't it... Meaning more matched ='s more profit yeah?

Richard Latimer

@martin-futter what kind of strike rate have you had so far for a minimum of 2?

I covered every race at Tampa tonight (I had to set and forget a few). Only 2 losses and finished in profit overall thanks to the race with 4 matches. Decent.

Martin

well 2 was better than nothing! small profit there

Love the little trumpet fanfare at the start of the races.

I wonder what the highest number of horses ever matched at 1.8 inplay is for one race.

@martin-futter Yes mate I can work on something... Not a problem at all

Am just getting my head around the whole thing of "Lay The Field"

Let me know what you want and I'll work on it, will message you so as not to clutter this thread

Richard Latimer

@martin-futter triffic haha

Martin

@richard-latimer we can pretty much guarantee one match in the 9pm now

Richard Latimer

@alan-steward According to the graphs Capoeira traded at 1.7 for a small amount

Martin

@alan-steward you're a spreadsheet whizz are you going to track the ones that don't qualify and see if we can edit the parameters?

Richard Latimer

@alan-steward by the graphs it was 4. Typical haha
