@james-everard Dutching "Front of Field" or do you mean LTF?
No mate just dutching (backing) around 4-5 runners 2mins before the off and putting in the back bet 2 ticks higher and tick keep inplay. Only one race didn't match up inplay and it went on to win, but all the other trades matched and the dutch trade won ( none of the horses i didn't dutch went onto win the race). Very early days and i hope i didn't hear that the USA racing is coming to the end of the season?

@alan-steward Been testing (only 1 day so far) dutching the Usa market and was successful yesterday. No races this evening if still showing to be profitable in a couple of weeks i will put up my selections on here.
-
@alan-steward fair enough fella. Keep up the good work.
Will be interesting to see the results from UK/IRE racing
-
@dean-adams Haven't been checking Aussie races for some time... I wasnt getting too many positive stats but not done it for a while.
Will wait for UK & IRE races to start next month and measure those.
USA - Tampa & Will Roger's has been yielding decent results... Albeit low stakes (£2.50)
-
My bot will collect a P&L report for every race and export in excell to my computer (obviously no data to collect if it doesn't fire), I'm struggling to collect the "Lowest Traded Price" which is in one of my Custom Columns but have given up on trying to retrieve micro data. It will show me the lowest traded price using £100 stakes but you'll rarely see the second lowest odds under 3. It's irrelevant really you'll need to test and see the best minimum odds & maximum stake you can achieve
My boy is an IT wiz and even he isn't too keen on linking it to excell using Macro's???
Am happy to share my LTF file if you'd like it???
You set the stake & odds to lay to suit yourself... Its easy enough to do within the parameters tab.

@alan-steward
Thanks for the info.
Do you run your bot for any of the Aus races.My shift Pattern means I catch a few of the bigger midweek meets and I noticed a few met the criteria last week. Unfortunately I was looking at them from another angle so haven’t tried LTF strategy

@martin-dodd
Martin I already have Bet angel and have set up some Bots that other users have shared but, I have no idea how to create one myself to do these things. Cheeky I know would you mind exporting it to me?
Thanks

@andy-leese-0 it certainly is mate, I'm now sat in my garden room enjoying a freshly extracted espresso with the lovely sunshine while my bot is working collecting data from French racing lol
Bet Angel for a short answer
Hi.
I’m looking to collect some in play data for a different strategy. Did you use one the templates on their forum or is it a self created version?
I’m trying to get my head around their Excel feature as u I thought that might work but I keep tying myself in knots!! -
@andy-leese-0 Yes mate but would highly recommend you get to grips with manually trading first... Then move onto trading software
When you think you might be ready feel free to give me a shout
-
@alan-steward so you can set the bot with the same parameters that Martin says?
-

@alan-steward Bot? How do you do that? Life would be so much easier lol.
-
@dean-adams Absolutely mate, the purpose of posting the results is so that people can see what's working and what isn't... Out of interest I covered just about 25 races in 1.98 & 2.04 and 2.04 is just about pipping profitability so far, although not a lot in it
Obviously I'm now testing 1.81
-
Not sure if your interested but I had the following results at 2.0:
