@Andy-Donnelly good to hear, you and @John-Folan so far by the looks of it! see if we can get anymore interest
-
@Martin Yeh I’d be up for that
-
I’ve started revisiting older strategies but restricting from 2023 onwards.
LTBF is looking interesting. Will post more in a few days. They aren’t going to make you a millionaire overnight but with sensible staking should provide an income.
Covid really did knock horse form.

@Martin This is the graph of one of my L2B selectors. I added 2021 and 22 out of interest. Nice and consistent over 4 years
that's amazing! well done

@John-Folan so for the ones I have looked at you are right it's near start of 2023
Yep. Agree totally

and my DOB selector, which started picking up again in Jan 23. Looking at the last 2 months it may be in need of an overhaul!

@Tony-Hastie how have your strategies been going that backtested then? I am finding the same thing in terms of the date.

@Martin I only back test 2023, 24 and 25 so wouldnt know tbh....

Gotta just feel a little gutted when you have a DOB selection in a race you just happen to be watching for a L2B trade and witness your DOB pick romp in paying 16s!

Got a question that I would love to discuss with you guys, when do you think the Covid effect stopped on Horse Racing? When I look through my strategies I can see a rough time period where it went back to normal but want to see if it is similar to yours.
Spring 23
Read the first post on both threads.

Something bizarre happened on one of my L2Bs at Cheltenham yesterday....
The Short Go(14:40) hit the odds range, was towards the back of the field for that start and settled at the back as well.
.....and the odds didnt move for 2 full minutes after the off(0 or little money coming in), even though the horse remained at the back. I called time on the trade after 2 min 30 for a 70p profit when it finally did move, well short of the 12 ticks, as I like to be out before the miraculous comebacks but Im at a loss to explain what happened! Usually, even if a horse sits at the back the odds are not dormant like this, they always shorten(infuriating!) or drift, even if its just a few ticks.
Has anyone else had this experience?
The big festivals can be funny sometimes

@John-Folan L2Bs still my bread and butter. The DOB hobby isnt going bad though, £4 off raising my stake to a fiver....although I think your and my DOB selections together tend to cancel each other out somewhat!
-
How is everyone doing? My dobs have been nice and consistent. Very happy with them since I first posted a few months ago
-
@John-Folan agree!
-
@Tony-Hastie yeah interesting pattern that Jan is a bad month!
